The future site of Pima Medical Instituteβs consolidated campus is taking shape.
Last year, Pima Medical bought the former Townsend Middle School, on Craycroft Road near Grant Road, for $5.6 million. A $5.2 million building permit was issued for the construction.
The former Tucson Unified School District building is being preserved and the interior will be remodeled.
Pima Medical has six campuses in the Tucson area and more than 130 employees who will be relocated to the new site.
