The $134-million project, billed as a "flagship" for the future of health education, sits on a nine-acre site at the intersection of Bison and California Avenues, just south of UC Irvine's Research Park. The complex includes a five-story, 135,000-square-foot building which will house the Health Sciences College, as well as a four-story, 77,000-square-foot building that houses the Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing.
HED and The S/L/A/M Collaborative are the designing the health complex, which is centered on a landscape courtyard that connects to other nearby facilities within the UC Irvine campus.
