The finished Health Sciences Center will be located on the Pardee UNC Health Care campus. The 90,000+ square foot building will house programs for three of the five partners.
Blue Ridge Community College and Wingate University will relocate their existing programs in allied health care, pharmacy and physician’s assistant courses on the second and third floors, co-locating their students within those two floors.
Pardee UNC Health Care will located their cancer program and surgical offices on the ground floor. This state-of-the-art facility is expected to be ready for students’ arrival and cancer patient treatments by the fall of 2016.
