McCarley Park
Coming Soon:
UBs plan for a Downtown Campus involves nothing less than the creation of a world-class center of clinical practice, medical education, health sciences research, and the translation of new knowledge into practical applications one that will rival other academic health centers across the nation.
A new facility for UBMD (Medical District), the practice plan comprising over 450 physicians who are also professors at the medical school, is shown facing the Buffalo Life Sciences Center across the new McCarley Park and reconnected Virginia Street.
Several of the properties included in this exercise would require significant cooperation from others to make them available for development. Some would require residential relocation programs to guarantee alternative housing of better quality to current tenants. Others would require the adaptive re-use of historically significant buildings, or demolition if such buildings are not in good enough condition to sustain a new occupancy. Each presents a strategic opportunity for all involved to trade up: for residents to trade up to better housing; for neighborhoods to trade up to a stronger base for revitalization; and for all of Western New York to trade up to a world-class academic health center.
