The new Health Science Complex (HSC) at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) is a state-of-the-art facility that will revolutionize how healthcare professionals are trained and educated.
HSC encompasses approximately 215,000 SF, making it one of the largest buildings on the SIUE campus. LJC and Clayco play a crucial role in creating a space that meets the functional needs of the various health science programs and inspires and facilitates collaboration, innovation, and excellence in education.
The HSC houses the School of Pharmacy, the School of Nursing, and related health sciences programs, offering improved facilities for simulation training, research, and program growth. Faculty offices, modern classrooms, teaching and research laboratories, and student resource and study spaces were thoughtfully integrated into the design to support a holistic learning environment.
One of the project’s key objectives is to enhance interdisciplinary and interprofessional education. By designing spaces that foster collaboration among different health professions, LJC and Clayco helped create a learning environment that reflects the real-world healthcare setting. This approach equips students with the necessary skills to excel in their careers and address the region’s and state’s healthcare needs.
Clayco and Poettker Joint Venture served as the design-build firms for the project, while LJC and Cannondesign are the lead architects. HOK is the bridging documentation firm.
HSC has successfully achieved LEED Silver certification.
