New Health Sciences Building
Elmhurst University’s 45,000-square-foot Health Sciences Building, which opened in fall 2025, houses programs in nursing, public health, occupational therapy and communication sciences and disorders. The state-of-the-art building, which earned LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council for its environmentally sustainable features, has been designed to encourage cross-curricular and interdisciplinary learning. A key highlight of the building is that it allows students to practice skills and hone their clinical judgment through hands-on, immersive experiences.
