Upon its completion in 2026, the James LeVoy Sorenson Center for Medical Innovation (SCMI) will aid in U of U Health’s commitment to advancing medical science and improving patient care.
The $50 million facility has been made possible by a lead gift of $22 million from the Sorenson Legacy Foundation.
Hosted on four levels totaling nearly 60,000 square feet of space, the Sorenson Center for Medical Innovation will include:
- Advanced prototyping and clean room assembly labs dedicated to creating and refining groundbreaking medical innovations.
- Vibrant collaboration spaces fostering cross-campus interdisciplinary cooperation and fueling the drive for transformative innovation and discovery.
- A clinical bio-tissue surgery discovery suite enabling physicians, faculty and staff to evaluate and refine new medical technologies and procedures in a hands-on, accessible, real-world environment.
- Startup incubator spaces expressly designed to nurture university spinouts and student startups. These high-potential startups will drive technology licensing opportunities for the university and economic growth for the state.
