New Health Sciences Academic Building provides state-of-the-art space to 3 UI programs
Three of the University of Iowa’s top-ranked and most popular programs will share a state-of-the-art building as they continue to grow and find more ways to serve residents of Iowa and beyond.
The Health Sciences Academic Building, located south of Slater Residence Hall at South Grand and Melrose avenues, houses the departments of Communication Sciences and Disorders, and Health, Sport, and Human Physiology, as well as the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences department.
The building was substantially completed in 2025, with final work done over summer 2026. Communication Sciences and Disorders moved into the space in summer 2025, followed by Health, Sport, and Human Physiology in May 2026. Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences held its first class in the new space in July.
