Towson University, Health Professions Building
The Health Professions building provides high-fidelity nursing simulation labs as well as other specialized health profession instructional environments for Towson University. Through more than 20 collaborative learning classrooms, simulation labs, and interprofessional spaces, students gain valuable training in high-demand fields such as nursing, physician’s assistant studies, occupational therapy, and public health. The new facility brings nearly all of the University’s health professions programs together under one roof, including the state’s first accredited occupational therapy program and Maryland’s second-largest baccalaureate nursing program.
Reflecting the University’s mission to cultivate and educate the finest talent in the healthcare professions, the design considers the new building as an expression of health and well-being by promoting healthy living patterns. The design emphasizes sustainable principles that also have well-being aspects, including generous daylight penetration, connection to natural elements, inviting stairways that encourage exercise, and an abundance of natural materials as finishes.
