University of Minnesota Plans Health Sciences Education Center

The University of Minnesota is planning to build the $109 million Health Sciences Education Center in Minneapolis. Designed by Perkins+Will, the project includes the creation of a new 142,100-sf facility and renovation of 52,000 sf of existing space. The center will feature active-learning classrooms, simulation training suites, and a technology-rich library. JE Dunn is the construction manager at-risk for the facility. Completion is expected in late 2019, pending project funding approval by the state legislature.
