The university will break ground on the $18 million facility in spring 2020. The 61,000-square-foot center will comprise classrooms, training spaces, teaching laboratories equipped with augmented and virtual reality tools and space for orthopedics, tissue studies and advanced computational simulations.

The center aims not only to enable students and faculty to conduct research in high-tech labs, but also to vastly increase the size of the university’s undergraduate biomedical engineering and premedical programs to help fill career demand in the health sciences.
