The ASU downtown campus is embarking on another adventure by adding a 5 story, 84,000 sq ft structure for the College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation.
The college opened its doors in 1960 and has grown to provide outstanding educational opportunities to over 7600 graduates. In 2008 it was ranked by US News and World Report as one of "America's Best Graduate Schools."
The new facility will provide new classrooms for nursing students and serve as a northern gateway to ASU’s Downtown Phoenix campus. Located at Third and Fillmore streets, the modern glass and copper structure includes a 200-seat auditorium, student facilities and faculty office and research space. The building will include several sustainable elements and Silver LEED certification will be sought from the United States Green Building Council once construction is complete.
Where is the groundbreaking event: College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation lawn, 500 N. Third St., Phoenix
When is the event: Tuesday, April 1, 8:30 to 10 a.m.
Speakers for the event are scheduled to include: ASU President Michael Crow, Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation Dean Bernadette Melnyk and nursing graduate student Dan Weberg.
