Holistic Design Solutions for People to Thrive

Utah Tech University Taylor Health Science Building

Completed: 2008

Bringing together future healthcare professionals under one roof, this integrated facility supports collaboration, cross-disciplinary learning, and student well-being through thoughtful design. Health Sciences programs including Nursing, Medical Radiology, Respiratory Therapy, Dental Sciences, Surgical Technology, Physical Therapy, and Administrative services are co-located with shared academic space, two lecture halls, and student lounges to foster synergy across disciplines. A communicating stair anchors the interior and visually connects all levels of the building, while carefully framed views from the main lobby create a welcoming and inspiring first impression.

Two distinct courtyards — a sunny winter courtyard to the south and a shaded summer courtyard to the north — expand the footprint of learning and gathering outdoors. These exterior spaces, paired with a small café and informal study zones, encourage year-round student engagement. Sophisticated mechanical systems and strategic building orientation contribute to occupant comfort and long-term efficiency, while the building’s layout balances functionality, flexibility, and flow — preparing students for the dynamic realities of today’s healthcare environments
