University of Texas Health Science Center – Houston Public Health Education and Research

Designed to support the future of public health education and research, this new 10-story academic tower brings together learning, innovation, and community engagement under one roof. The facility will serve the growing departments of Biostatistics and Data Science; Epidemiology, Human Genetics and Environmental Sciences; Health Promotion and Behavioral Sciences; and Management, Policy and Community Health, creating a collaborative environment that advances interdisciplinary discovery and student success.

The ground level is dedicated to community connection and hands-on learning, featuring a simulation center, teaching kitchen, and a variety of large and small seminar spaces. Lower and mid-level floors provide flexible instructional areas, including classrooms, dry and wet labs, and specialized spaces for the Library, Graduate Communication Center, Academic Affairs, and EdTech. Faculty offices and departmental meeting spaces occupy the upper levels, while collaboration areas distributed throughout the building encourage interaction, knowledge-sharing, and engagement across disciplines.
