Medical & Health Sciences Campus

Des Moines University’s new Medical and Health Sciences campus is a hub for innovation and sustainability in health care education. With cutting-edge facilities and technology, the campus supports new programs, research, simulation and clinical services that are developed with the highest fidelity possible to ensure mastery of skills and learning. The entire campus, which consists of four buildings, is interconnected with pathways that are programmed to include social and academic features, adding value and comfort to users between classes. The campus demonstrates sustainability and stewardship by achieving LEED Silver certification and is in line to receive WELL Building Standard Gold Campus certification. This designation will make the campus the first of its kind in the world and create a welcoming setting for a diverse student body, faculty and staff. Sustainable practices such as local materials and geothermal systems will minimize the campus footprint. The design reflects the university’s history while embracing the future, creating a vibrant and connected learning environment. This project is a transformative opportunity to establish a new legacy for Des Moines University and health care education.
