University of Arizona’s $100-million cancer center formally broke ground in downtown Phoenix on Feb. 21, though actual construction is likely still several months away.
Located on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus at the northwest corner of Fillmore and Seventh streets, the University of Arizona Cancer Center at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center/Dignity Health outpatient clinic is expected to be open in 2015. The University is leasing the land from the City of Phoenix.
