Carnegie Mellon plans a 35-acre campus in Wynwood
Ken Griffin's $3 billion gift includes $2 billion for CMU Miami, with initial enrollment targeted for 2028, subject to approvals.
Carnegie Mellon announced the gift on September 30. Of the total, $1 billion supports Pittsburgh and $2 billion supports the new Miami campus. Construction is planned to begin in 2027. Once complete, CMU Miami is designed for more than 3,500 students, nearly 300 faculty and over 600 staff. The campus and enrollment schedule remain subject to the necessary regulatory approvals.
Our read
A campus of this scale could change Wynwood's weekday dining, catering and lodging demand well beyond its current visitor patterns.
