An artist’s rendering of the new building

A new building planned for Dalhousie’s Carleton campus aims to be common ground for students from the Faculties of Dentistry, Medicine and the Health Professions—a place where an aspiring nurse, social worker and dental hygienist could get together for coffee; where a future physician, occupational therapist and pharmacist could work on a simulated medical emergency; where a would-be coach, radiological technologist, dentist and cardiologist could meet and attend a lecture.

In so doing, the deans of those three faculties believe the building—and the focus it will bring to inter-professional learning—has the power to revolutionize health-care education at Dalhousie.
