The 13,000-sq-ft Nave is the primary entrance into a 1920s-era Gothic Revival building originally conceived by the university as a “cathedral of learning.”
The eight-floor, 500,000-sq-ft academic building doubles the available teaching and research space for a mix of technical disciplines and brings together researchers previously spread across a dozen locations.
The 237,000-sq-ft, 93-bed acute care facility is the nation’s first hospital to be built on a community college campus, according to the team, creating a partnership that will expand training opportunities for health care workers and students.
