Indiana University School of Medicine Evansville Expansion Planning
On Monday, officials with the Indiana University School of Medicine Evansville responded to an inquiry from an Evansville Courier & Press reporter, regarding possible site options for an expanded medical school and collaborative regional health education campus. One element of the study includes Identifying areas in the community that would serve as compatible locations if an expansion were to occur. As responsible due diligence requires, the official from the IU School of Medicine noted that several locations were initially suggested to the steering committee which included both commercial real estate and vacant city-owned parcels such as Roberts Stadium.
In contrast to the reporter’s perspective in the early-phase report to the committee, the Roberts Stadium property has not been formally listed as a site for consideration. Other sites will be studied more closely as the study moves forward. Med school officials note that the study should be completed by year end. At that time, recommendations from the study will be shared with the public.
