Aerial view of a large red-brick academic building with white trim and a green roof, surrounded by sidewalks, grassy areas, and small landscaped trees. The building has multiple stories with evenly spaced windows and a central entrance. Nearby, additional campus buildings, a parking lot with cars, and a road are visible under a blue sky with scattered clouds.

 This cutting-edge, 80,000-square-foot facility offers expanded educational opportunities for the university’s health care students and faculty in the College of Health and Behavioral Sciences.

 The new facility is home to the School of Nursing, the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, an expanded Nabholz Center for Healthcare Simulation, and an Interprofessional Teaching Center – the first of its kind in the region.

The new IHSB allows for the expansion of the university’s health care programs’ size, reach and impact on the state’s health care resources. This impact will be immediately realized through the addition of 50 more nursing students during a national nursing shortage. With more than 90% of UCA’s health care graduates remaining in the state, Arkansans will reap substantial health benefits.
