Morehouse/Atrium $700M Teaching Hospital Approved at The MET

The Morehouse School of Medicine / Atrium Health teaching hospital has been approved at 675 Metropolitan Parkway SW in The MET Atlanta, Southwest Atlanta. The $700 million project, developed by Morehouse School of Medicine and Atrium Health, moves from proposed to approved status.

The hospital will include a 24/7 emergency department, a Level III trauma center, obstetrics, a NICU, and adult critical care. Diagnostic and procedural capabilities include advanced imaging, cardiac catheterization, interventional radiology, and endoscopy.

Beyond acute care, the mixed-use campus will house medical offices, research facilities, and a healthplex. The MET Atlanta, a 1.1 million-square-foot complex along Metropolitan Parkway that Coca-Cola founder Asa Candler built in the early 20th century, has been repositioned as a large redevelopment district.

The site sits near the West End MARTA station with access via Metropolitan Parkway.

Correction, Oct. 21, 2026: An earlier version of this story called the hospital seven stories, which no source confirms, named Morehouse School of Medicine as its only developer and described The MET as the former Atlanta Metropolitan State College site. Atrium Health is the co-developer, and The MET is a 1.1 million-square-foot complex built by Asa Candler.
