Health Professions Division | 1
The Health Professions Division (HPD) occupies 21
acres and 900,000 square feet of space on the Nova
Southeastern University main campus. The HPD’s
seven colleges are based in a five-story administration
building, with the upper floors consisting of the
colleges’ headquarters, division administration, and
faculty offices. The first floor is student-related, devoted
to the Office of Admissions, the Office of Student
Financial Assistance, and a cafeteria.
Just north of the administration building is the assembly
building. This consists of a 500-seat auditorium; a
250-seat auditorium; and eight 126-seat, amphitheater-
style classrooms. Connected to this is a three-story
library/laboratory building. On the first floor is a
20,000-square-foot library with a 100-seat classroom
devoted to cardiac teaching using HARVEY, a
computerized heart-sound mannequin that duplicates
the signs and symptoms of most normal and abnormal
heart conditions. Patient simulation training rooms and
a 50-station computer laboratory for student use are
also on the first floor. The second and third floors house
laboratories, a student lounge, and a research area.
Just north of the library/laboratory building is the
medical services building with facilities for primary
health care, rehabilitative services, and primary and
secondary eye care. A three-story building houses the
College of Dental Medicine’s educational facilities and
clinics. Just south of the dental building, the university
has a building with a 300-seat auditorium and study
rooms for students. Behind these structures is an
1,800-vehicle parking garage, readily accessible to the
university community.
