MDVIP will occupy 49,466 square feet.
Now among the largest graduate medical education (GME) spaces in South Florida, the 28,250-square-foot facility is five times larger than its predecessor and was designed specifically to support modern medical training.
Under the proposal, a hospital could be developed on a site currently used as surface parking. The facility could include inpatient and outpatient services as well as emergency care.
The project will rise on a 1.8-acre site at 1611 South Andrews Avenue, directly adjacent to Broward Health Medical Center.
With the MOU negotiations now authorized, city officials and FSU leadership will work toward finalizing the agreement ahead of the decisive vote scheduled for March.
