Nothing has been confirmed, just speculation. My guess is that there will be some concentration by Discovery Oasis but the main medical school will be in downtown. I'm approaching this from a pride/ego perspective. You have to counter UA's presence and logos all over downtown in the PBC. Also, maybe Mayo may not want ASU's actual medical school to be built close to theirs as well??
The City of Phoenix and ASU swapped land a year ago or so. ASU took over the block where the Mercado buildings currently sit on and the City took over the parking lots at 1st and McKinley. My money is on that this is where the new medical school gets built.
