Many research universities have large medical research and clinical delivery enterprises that provide significant revenue; in some cases over 50 percent of nominal (nameplate) revenue. Pure non-medical academic megaprojects (e.g., new classroom/research buildings) tend to be smaller than university-affiliated hospital towers in 2026, with many in the $100–300M range. Healthcare expansions dominate due to population growth and funding priorities. Rankings can vary by exact metric (cost, sq ft, beds).
Nearly every month we scan for information about such projects in as many stages as publicly available; with particular interest in public commenting opportunities; coordinated with the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee which meets online every other Tuesday.
