Health Sciences Building

Some stats,facts and details about the $300M project

Planning for the Health Sciences Building, which began over a decade ago, was built on the vision of creating a new standard for team-based, interprofessional teaching, learning, research and practice in health sciences. The Government of Saskatchewan's commitment—$300,000,000—is the largest ever made to a capital project in U of S history. Significant donor contributions also added to the success of this project.

Construction of the D-wing and E-wing additions began in 2008 and were completed in 2013, with the official grand opening occurring one year later. The new facilities feature state-of-the-art classrooms, laboratories, clinical learning resources, collaborative learning spaces and a new library specializing in the health sciences. Renovations to the existing B-wing were completed in 2016, and additional renovations currently underway in A-wing have an expected completion date of 2019.
