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. Description of Facilities
