Case Study: The University of Arizona secures $470 million for campus expansion with Molera Alvarez

The University of Arizona secures $470 million in campus financing with Molera Alvarez

The University of Arizona engaged the lobbying firm Molera Alvarez to secure funding for a critical expansion of its College of Medicine, the state's only MD-granting medical school. The challenge was to raise the necessary capital for this expansion, a goal many believed was unachievable.

Molera Alvarez formed a coalition of stakeholders to advocate for the funding proposal with state leaders. The firm successfully secured an initial $60 million in seed money, which was leveraged to develop the larger Phoenix Bio-Medical Campus. As the lead lobbying firm, Molera Alvarez secured $470 million in capital financing for the campus's core infrastructure and helped obtain over $125 million in additional operational funding since the project's inception.
