The Medical Center of the Americas footprint encompasses about 440 acres located south of Interstate 10, north and west of Paisano Drive, and east of Boone Street. (Click here for a 2008 Google map aerial view.)

Within the 440-acre footprint is a smaller 140-acre plot that is the focus of development over the next 50 to 80 years.  Today, it is an integrated complex of medical facilities currently anchored by University Medical Center of El Paso and the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Paul L. Foster School of Medicine.

The campus is also site to the emerging El Paso Children's Hospital and a developing biotech incubator and research park.

The MCA area is the foundation upon which improved access to quality health care for the Paso del Norte region will be built.

Below are illustrations of the MCA campus and how it might look 50 to 80 years from now.
