Health Institute Tower
ABOUT THE PROJECT
MSU Denver is constructing a new 70,000 square foot tower addition to the West Classroom Building. The building will house the majority of the Gina and Frank Day Health Institute program including 10 health-related academic departments that are training students for careers in nursing, nutrition, behavioral health, physical therapy, and social work.
This will allow MSU Denver to accept more students into in-demand programs like nursing and social work which currently turn away between 45-50% of qualified applicants. It will also provide space for interdisciplinary learning and research as well as offer community-serving clinics.
Project Impacts & Updates
The South entrance into West Classroom building will be unavailable during construction.
