Harrisburg University - UPMC Health Sciences Tower
Just a few years ago, Harrisburg University of Science and Technology (HU) enrolled about 900 students. Today, the total enrollment is over 6,000 students from 103 countries, filling up the university¡¯s first tower.
After meeting with local stakeholders, HU heard serious concerns about healthcare professional shortages and the need to expand the university¡¯s offerings in the areas of advanced manufacturing and digital media. Based on this feedback, they committed to the UPMC Health Sciences Tower: a second mixed-use tower on the urban campus.
The new $90 million, 11-story building focuses on health sciences, advanced manufacturing, and digital media. A key component of the tower is the classrooms and simulation labs that support the university¡¯s various healthcare programs, including nursing, pharmaceutical sciences, exercise sciences, and other allied health programs. The simulation (SIM) labs allow students to practice in real-world surgery, pediatric, emergency, cardiac, and general hospital settings. The remaining suite supports a curriculum focused on the continuum of care. This model enabled the university to create a simulated hospital setting without compromising the flexibility and functionality of the learning environment.
Now complete, this second tower is a visible commitment to HU¡¯s continued focus on transforming higher education while helping to revive Harrisburg and the surrounding region.?
