Health Sciences Innovation Building

Description

State-of-the-art instructional spaces will offer simulated, real-life situations for teams of students, faculty and health professionals in medicine, nursing, pharmacy and public health. The HSIB will offer flexible, large, medium and small group/team learning areas and clinical labs and simulation centers for a broad spectrum of instructional applications.

Design Intent

The building interior was deliberately designed without columns to provide more flexibility of space in the future. Approximately 1,000+ people can be accommodated in the Forum for special events. Spaces known as “flipped classrooms” can accommodate up to 150 students for interactive learning. Terra cotta, a material that emulates brick, will create natural shade on the east façade where glass walls have been constructed.
