DESCRIPTION
The Health and Human Sciences facility combines all programs of the Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences with other clinical facilities associated with the new College of Health and Human Sciences and the Indiana University School of Medicine - Lafayette. In the spirit of campus precincts, the building is located on the Life and Health Sciences Quadrangle and includes an 850-vehicle parking garage. The facility combines academic and clinic space that supports the curriculum and research goals of the schools occupying the building. While uniting multiple users, BSA LifeStructures was challenged to preserve each departments unique image and culture while still seeking opportunities for cross-disciplinary learning and engagement.

HEALTH AND HUMAN SCIENCES BUILDING PURDUE UNIVERSITYWEST LAFAYETTE, INDIANA
many programs, one homeThe Health and Human Sciences Building at Purdue University combines six different educational departments in the health sciences with clinics, labs and the Indiana University School of Medicine.
The diverse number of users in the building opens the door for the various departments to
collaborate. It reflects the team-based approach to wellness that is found in the hospitals,
clinics and medical centers where these students will one day work.
An interprofessional learning environment better prepares students for their future. It is also
an operationally efficient facility solution for the university.
This trend in education brings two or more areas of study together so students can learn from and about each other. The objective is to achieve a collaborative practice that benefits students by replicating real world scenarios.
The design of interprofessional buildings, like Purdue’s Health and Human Sciences Building, emphasizes
multi-departmental collaboration. This allows the departments, previously spread across Purdue’s campus,
to have the opportunity to come together to maximize existing synergies and create new opportunities for
collaboration.
interprofessional education
Interprofessional education is the active
engagement of students from various healthcare
disciplines to improve academic collaboration and
the quality of care.
DEFINITION
GOALThe most common goals of interprofessional
healthcare education programs are: improved
patient outcomes, increased appreciation for clinical
peers and better preparation for the healthcare
workplace.
the valuePurdue University’s Health and Human Sciences Building provides an exceptional environment for interprofessional education. It helps create an identity and awareness for the new College of Health and Human Sciences, while the collaborative and interdisciplinary design produces operational efficiencies for the university.
Prior to the creation of the new HHS Building, Purdue’s allied health programs were scattered across different facilities on campus.

REAL WORLD APPLICATIONTEAM-BASED
• Team-based wellness is emphasized through increased collaborative space in the research and learning areas
PEDAGOGY• The IU School of Medicine’s
research space promotes mentorship and group work that is favored by today’s generation
REAL WORLD APPLICATION
LEAN• Increasing shared space
reduces the overall square footage, leading to reduced operating costs and creating a protocol for sharing research and learning spaces
SPACE GAINS• By agreeing to share space,
each department actually gained more research, academic and clinical space then they would have in a single department facility
REDUCED COSTS
BRAND• Consolidation creates a
stronger unified identity for the programs while facility investment enhances student perception
MOVEMENT• Scattered Allied Health
programs (right) are now united to remove obstacles that impede connectivity.
OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY
identifying synergiesTo create spaces that intentionally encourage collaboration, it is
important to understand how users interact. The design team looked
closely at common areas of study, research and practice. It wasn’t
surprising to find synergies among the department’s programs, but
it was enlightening to discover the amount of collaboration already
happening. Bringing these programs together sets up even more
opportunities for discovery.
The building’s design evolved as the project team gained a better
understanding of the users needs and goals. For example, the initial
layout linked audiology research with the audiology clinic and speech
research with the speech clinic.
After reviewing with the users and to better enable an interprofessional
approach, it was determined that the most efficient layout was to link
research disciplines with other research areas and clinic space with
other clinic space.
When the silos in health education are gone, where are the opportunities for interprofessional education in the facility and curriculum? The following graphic encapsulates the intended synergies for the new Health & Human Sciences Building.

RESEARCH
ACADEMIC
CLINICAL
Interprofessional synergies are divided into three major areas: Research, Academic and Clinical. Collaborative research is happening in the labs and through interdisciplinary research centers. Clinical programs feature patient exam rooms with support space for treatment and diagnosis. Academic synergies are based on opportunities for shared curriculum for multiple programs. Taking all areas into account, the Purdue and BSA LifeStructures team discovered at least a dozen examples of cross-collaboration amongst students, patients, researchers and faculty.
The layout of the Health and Human Sciences Building fosters collaboration through shared space, while still offering each health department its own identity.
