Carleton University announced Monday that it has begun construction work on a $52-million Health Sciences Building that will include the latest technology in high-quality undergraduate teaching labs.

The new open-concept research labs will provide greater access to experiential learning opportunities for students while encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration and closer interactions within departments.

The seven-storey, 120,000-square-foot building designed by Montgomery Sisam and NXL Architects will house Neuroscience and the new Health Sciences Department. Occupancy is set for August 2017.
