The University of Arizona recently broke ground on the new home for the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, part of the College of Medicine–Tucson. The 30,000-sq-ft facility will include three buildings surrounded by desert gardens and linked by a series of pathways. It was designed to embody the center’s ethos of whole-person wellness and the principles of integrative health. Line and Space LLC of Tucson is the architect, and the project is being built by DPR Construction. Construction began in May 2022 and is expected to be complete in late 2023.
