After nearly four years of development, Sam Houston State University officially cut the ribbon to open its new Health Professions Building on Feb. 17.
“This building represents a deliberate choice. A choice that reflects how healthcare works in the real world,” SHSU President Alisa White said.
Two-minute impact
The $65 million, 81,000-square-foot facility has been in early development since 2023, according to prior reporting from Community Impact. Built to operate alongside the College of Osteopathic Medicine, the new facility's strategic location offers students a “regional home to several major health care systems,” according to a Feb. 18 news release. This allows students in SHSU's health programs to learn and work alongside health care professionals in real-world settings.
