Site work and new construction of an educational facility in Boca Raton, Florida. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a 150,000-square-foot educational facility; and for site work for a educational facility.

The Florida Atlantic University Health Professions Clinical Training and Research Facility will serve as a clinical, educational and research space for all health profession studies majors at FAU. As the university continues its enrollment expansion in the College of Medicine, we will require additional clinical and instructional space in order to maintain accreditation standards. This facility will support class expansion, expand opportunities for research, increase collaborations with other colleges and provide simulation spaces and interprofessional education activities. The Health Professions Clinical Training and Research Facility is unique in that it will serve a variety of health professions students at Florida Atlantic and will allow for cross-collaboration and side-by-side clinical experiences. This 150,000 GSF facility will blend experiential learning for trainees with patient engagement and patient-oriented research. All colleges at FAU, including nursing, medicine, engineering, science, education, business, social work and arts and letters, will be able to expand their ability to train the needed workforce in an interprofessional environment. Our regional partners in Palm Beach, Broward and Martin counties have expressed a willingness to partner in faculty and learner experiences, recruitment, and retention to ensure that we optimize the numbers and the depth and breadth of experiences of our health care professionals. Our joint academic endeavors will allow for the innovative solutions necessary to tackle the workforce crisis. This facility will allow the colleges to expand their annual enrollment such that FAU could graduate over 300 nurses, 104 MDs, and 150 social workers a year. Resident training programs will expand to address the doctor shortage. Cross-disciplinary training in technology, engineering, business, and data science will ensure that the workforce of tomorrow has the necessary skills to serve the community’s needs.
