In the span of a year, the center of campus grew skyward. Six floors to be exact. In the Graduate and Health Studies Building, The University of Tampa constructed its largest academic building yet, and on Friday, Aug. 31, celebrated its grand opening.
Located in the heart of campus, the Graduate and Health Studies Building (GHS) is not only UT’s newest building, but it is now UT’s largest academic building.
The 53 paintings in the building are by self-taught artist Barbara Krupp. The two 15-foot paintings located in the first floor corridor were commissioned specifically for the building.
The building blends with the architecture of UT’s campus, with red brick, precast concrete, metal and glass. It offers panoramic views of campus and downtown Tampa, and includes typical Florida landscaping.
Two floors of the building were specifically designed for UT’s new program in physician assistant medicine. This facility includes a clinical skills lab, patient simulation labs, assessment rooms, digital anatomy lab, classrooms, study spaces, offices, a conference room and a unique moulage room, which is a specialized room for applying mock injuries for student training.
Coming soon, the Graduate and Health Studies Building’s twin will be erected, which will house UT’s Technology Building. The two buildings will be joined by a three-story sky bridge with additional functional space.
