The 23,000-square-foot Interprofessional Education Center (IEC) provides more learning space for medical and health science students, and houses a new College of Pharmacy.
The Interprofessional Education Center transforms a nondescript entry into an inviting, sun-filled front door to the campus.

Glass on the north façade fills the facility with indirect natural light, while avoiding major heat gain from the east, west, and south. Additionally, heat recovery systems use exhausted air to preheat or cool supply air, saving energy by reducing heating and cooling requirements.
On the second floor, gathering spaces called “sky carrels” cantilever from the north wall. These light-filled spaces resemble living rooms where students can socialize or work on group projects. From the outside, the cubes appear as a series of picture boxes that express the learning and collaboration that happen inside.
