On May 25, UofL announced it is partnering with the UofL Christina Lee Brown Envirome Institute to build a new campus in downtown Louisville. Named the New Vision of Health Campus, the facility will advance research on environmental impacts of health.
Located on West Muhammad Ali Boulevard, the campus will consist of two buildings and a garden totaling 133,000 square feet.
This expansion of UofL’s campus comes alongside the financial contribution of Christina Lee Brown, a health advocate from Louisville. Brown plans to give $30 million over 20 years. Moreover, Brown will allow the rent-free use of buildings to the university, a $17 million in-kind donation.
