ASU/UofA Downtown Phoenix construction thread

[azcats]

They will have to go through accreditation - that takes some time.

Actually, I don't care if they - FINALLY - get a medical school or not. I don't personally trust going to doctors, anyway. If they do build that building from the artist conceptual rendering - it sure will look a lot better than the dirt lot in the middle of that bio-medical hub.

Was the "reporter" (In my little world - I had my dealings with "reporters"..."journalists" - how about "storytellers"?!? - I hate them) ...Is this guy on Crow's payroll?

He was so excited - slobbering all over Crow - I thought he was going to pee in his pants. He "reports" as if they were located in the middle of the Yukon Territory - 5,000 miles away from anything - including other medical schools.
He mentions NOTHING of how this new development will complement the surrounding, existing medical and bio research schools/ labs, etc. in the downtown Phoenix Bio-medical complex that was initially started in 2004 (he was probably in diapers in 2004) - including the UofA's downtown medical school a block away - and includes the UofA CAMI building currently under construction. Don't ask me what CAMI means - I don't know. Even the mayor of Phoenix was more levelheaded. She ends up doing the "reporters" job: Stating that ASU's new health building is the latest development being built within the burgeoning bio-medical research and development complex in the downtown Phoenix that include "ASU, NAU, and the UofA." He couldn't do that?!? The young man was just a tad biased for our "hometown" heroes. These "reporters" are so bad communicating - when the UofA was awarded their SECOND medical school to be located in downtown Phoenix - 20 years ago - I can't tell you how many people - located right there in downtown were proclaiming that ASU is building a medical school! I'm 400 miles away - going..."Do you know how to read?"

I think that's why ASU tries to make it sound like something other than a traditional medical school. But possession is 9/10 of the law and that's sorta how Crow works I guess.
