Designed for LEED Silver certification, the $87.3 million College of Health Professions building will increase the capacity to grow VCU’s high-demand programs and promote a culture of interprofessional practice that mirrors the future of health care delivery.

The 154,000-square-foot building, which includes a west-facing eight-story wing and a south-facing four-story wing, is equipped with learning laboratories designed for patient simulation and diagnostic technology. Each of the eight floors features formal and informal spaces designed to promote interprofessional education and collaboration among the health professions specialties.
