You'll see a lot of new names and abbreviations when we talk about the Phoenix campus. Here are a few to get us started.

PBC: Phoenix Biomedical Campus
TGen: Translational Genomics Institute
COM-Phoenix: The University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix in partnership with Arizona State University
Building 1, Building 2, Building 3: The historic Phoenix Union High School buildings facing Van Buren that were remodeled to house Phoenix-based medical education
ABC1: Arizona Biomedical Collaborative Building 1, the new building on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus housing research laboratories for UA and ASU
ABC2: Arizona Biomedical Collaborative Building 2, a research building to be built on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus that is still in the planning stages
Health Sciences Education Building or Medical Education Building: Two terms for one building still in the planning stages that will provide educational facilities for medical, pharmacy and allied health students

No doubt many more terms will be added to the list as we go along.
