A New HUB to Bring Us Together
About
The School of Public Health & Health Sciences Building project will involve the development of a new 26,800 GSF building for the School of Public Health & Health Sciences (SPHHS) just west of the existing Totman Gymnasium Building. The new School of Public Health & Health Sciences Building will include flexible, team-based learning classrooms, office space, time-shared cubicles, conferencing facilities, and open areas designed for informal work and collaboration. Additionally, the project will include an outdoor event space to complement the interior academic program spaces to allow SPHHS to host a wide variety of outdoor events.
As an energy efficient and sustainable facility, the building will aim to exceed the minimum certification level of LEED Silver® in keeping with Executive Order 594 (2021), prioritize low energy use, minimize the use of fossil fuels, and be ready to support the implementation of the UMass Carbon Zero initiative to create a net zero carbon emissions campus.
Completion Date: December 2025
Size: 26,800 GSF
