At lightning speed, we continue to transform the former Southern Progress buildings into the new home of the College of Health Sciences. Our state of the art educational and clinical facilities will span more than 223,000 square feet and will be unlike anything you have ever seen before. The facilities are intentionally designed to foster collaboration and innovative instruction. You will not be disappointed!

In terms of progress, the demolition phase is complete and classrooms, labs and offices are quickly beginning to take shape. We will be documenting the progress through, text, photos and videos on our website and on the College of Health Sciences social media pages. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay in the loop!

We are still on track to officially open our facilities in fall 2016. Faculty and staff will begin to move into the renovated spaces in late summer and classes will begin in the new facilities in August. On average, we anticipate that approximately 1,200 students from 30 programs will utilize the facility daily.
