Health United Building (HUB)
"A 10-year exclusive affiliation between Xavier University and TriHealth. The Health United Building will serve 1,400 students academically from the College of Professional Sciences, plus an average of 1,000 students engaged in intramural sports, plus wellness," said Paul Gore, Dean of the College of Professional Sciences. "Up to 25 percent of the campus might be in the building at any given time-making their experience of campus and their learning richer and deeper. One of our emerging areas of expertise and national recognition is our capacity to provide interprofessional collaboration. These are students who are going to work together in the same type of facilities when they graduate and get jobs. Learn about the Health United Building."
