The final beam has been laid for the upcoming Indiana University Health Regional Academic Health Center.
The center, which has been under construction since January of last year, will house a cancer center and women’s center, along with other facilities. It will also include the Academic Health Sciences Building, which will consolidate most of the academic health science programs at IU.
IU Vice Provost of Health Sciences David Daleke says the new building will allow students to prepare for the real world in a 21 st Century health center.
“Nearly 100 faculty and 1,000 students will call the education building their new home," Daleke says. "The clinical education programs of nursing, social work, clinical psychology and speech and hearing science will move out of aging and outdated spaces.”
The center is expected to receive its first patient on November 21, 2021.
