"For the past 117 years, Samuel Merritt University has been one of California's largest educators of registered nurses."
"The 10-story, 260,000-square-foot facility is expected to bring approximately 2,000 students and 500 faculty and staff to the city's urban core daily."
""It's using Oakland's public assets to catalyze public and private investment and to deliver public health. How good could that be! Public health, public benefits for our city," says Mayor Lee."
""If you are from the Bay Area, you know Samuel Merritt breeds healers -- that healers are being taught in this building. And with their hands and with their hearts, all of us will be better," says Representative Simon."
Samuel Merritt University opened a new 10-story, 260,000-square-foot downtown Oakland campus that will bring approximately 2,000 students and 500 faculty and staff to the urban core daily. The $240 million flagship campus will offer undergraduate, graduate, doctoral and nursing certificate programs and aims to double enrollment over the next decade. City leaders project the campus will serve as an anchor institution to revitalize downtown, increase foot traffic, and boost local businesses amid high commercial vacancy rates since the pandemic. The project received a million-dollar federal funding check and strengthens healthcare workforce development through hospital connections.
