Texas Woman’s University topped off its future health sciences facility, placing the highest beam in place signifying its peak height.  

In September 2023, Texas Woman’s broke ground on a $107 million, 136,000 square-foot health sciences center in Denton to serve as an inter-professional education facility linking students in the allied health fields with an emphasis on preparing them to serve in rural settings. The building will expand health-related programming, community outreach, research and other activities at Texas Woman’s.

The building will include labs, classrooms, collaborative workspaces, outdoor clinic sites, a teaching kitchen, community health care clinics and student training spaces.

The building project is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2025, with an opening set for the fall of 2025. The school’s role in health-related professional education will go a long way toward filling gaps in the state’s health-related positions. The Texas Department of State Health Services estimated that the state will face a shortage of most types of nurses by 2032, including a registered nurse shortage of more than 57,000, based on the needs of the growing population.
