This one-of-a-kind facility opened in January 2025 and features the latest classroom design and technologies and showcase expansive clinical simulation and research facilities, including a human performance laboratory and environmental chamber. The department features classrooms/labs for teaching microbiology for the health professions and anatomy and physiology using virtual cadavers. A student career education and advising center, along with conference and meeting space, is included as part of the inspiring resources intended for the next generation of healthcare providers, faculty, and staff.
