OU-Tulsa
Allocation: $30,000,000.00
Summary Update:
The Parking Garage was completed in June 2006. The OU-Tulsa Schusterman Center was completed in May 2007. Both buildings are located at the west side of the OU Schusterman Campus. The expansion to the North side of the Clinic Building and the building construction near Yale Avenue were not funded by Vision 2025.
Background:
Funds from Vision 2025 were provided to construct a 100,000-square-foot Research and Medical Clinic located at the OU-Tulsa Schusterman Center (41st & Yale, Tulsa) that integrates teaching, research, and service. The clinic offers extended hours to serve the medically needy which will reduce the burden on emergency rooms. New research will advance health care initiatives while also stimulating the economy as funding moves through the community.
The clinic and research facility is expected to create more than 3,000 new jobs over 15 years and allow for an increase in the number of patients from 82,000 to 130,000 annually. The number of medical students is expected to grow from 60 students per year to more than 100 students per year. Resident physician capacity will increase from 160 residents per year to 200 per year. Research funding is expected to grow from $1 million per year to $5 million per year.
