Health Sciences Education Building (HSEB) at the Phoenix Biomedical Campus
Health Sciences Education Building (HSEB) at the Phoenix Biomedical Campus | Phoenix, Arizona
The University of Arizona (UA) College of Medicine-Phoenix and Northern Arizona University (NAU) created a new model for an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to health sciences education and research. This endeavor was innovative in that it involved the collaboration and merging of these programs from two universities with distinct institutional cultures on one campus—Phoenix Biomedical Campus in downtown Phoenix.
Project
Details
The Health Sciences Education Building (HSEB) is part of the inter-institutional campus for health science education and research, and supports the colleges of medicine, pharmacy, nursing, allied health and biomedical informatics. The new 268,000-sq.-ft, six-story facility consists of administration and faculty offices, lecture halls, learning studios, flexible classrooms, student and faculty services, clinical skills suite, simulation suite, gross anatomy facilities, class laboratories, learning resource center, cafeteria, student lockers, group study rooms, conference rooms and miscellaneous building support. HSEB and future research buildings are connected by a north-south structure that houses public functions and spaces for the occupants of these facilities as part of an effort to ensure that educators, researchers, students, and teachers meet and encourage an interdisciplinary approach to pedagogy and research.
A key characteristic of the program is a model of collective resources shared by the UA's College of Pharmacy and the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health, and by NAU's College of Health and Human Services programs. An interactive planning process involving educators from the cross-section of health sciences disciplines worked collaboratively to create an educational vision of a team-based continuity of care model.
