Des Moines, Iowa
Highline College will begin construction in summer of 2018 on the 46,000-sf Health and Life Sciences Building in Des Moines. Designed by McGranahan Architects, the $30 million project includes construction of an addition and the complete renovation of Building 26. Providing flexible, integrated learning environments, the completed facility will offer classrooms, labs, faculty offices, and study spaces. Supporting a pedagogy of team-based care, the project will collocate all the college’s health professions programs in a single location to enhance collaborative learning. LEED sustainable design certification will be sought for the facility, which will be built by Pease Construction.
