With
$2.1 billion in operating expenses, the Woodruff Health Sciences Center
(WHSC) has an annual economic impact on metro Atlanta estimated at
$4.6 billion. The WHSC is one of the largest employers in the city,
and its investment in construction alone, not to mention its biotech
start-up companies, is a major source of jobs and boon to the economy.
In 2007, for example, the WHSC will open two new facilities, a new
medical school building on campus and a four-story joint-venture hospital
off campus. And construction planned for the coming decade includes
a new research building, a new building for the Rollins School of
Public Health, a new facility for Yerkes National Primate Research
Center, and new hospital and clinic facilties, including a major expansion
of the Emory Crawford Long campus in midtown. |
