ASU Health Headquarters

The new ASU Health Headquarters is being shaped around a different vision for medical education and healthcare innovation.

DFDG Architecture in association with CO Architects is leading the design of a facility built to bring that vision to life — a place where the future of healthcare is not just taught, but actively reimagined. The 175,000-square-foot, five-story facility will bring together the John Shufeldt School of Medicine and Medical Engineering and the School of Technology for Public Health under one roof, creating a place where medicine, engineering, technology, and data science intersect in real time. The new ASU Health Observatory and programs in the Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation and the College of Health Solutions are also planned to be part of the new facility.

The building is designed to support the way future healthcare professionals will learn, collaborate, and solve problems. Flexible classrooms, virtual reality learning environments, and healthcare simulation labs create spaces where students can move between theory, technology, and hands on training in real time. Mock operating and emergency rooms, innovation spaces, study areas, faculty offices, and student focused amenities are woven throughout the facility to support collaboration, connection, and day-to-day campus life. Every part of the program is intended to support a more connected and technology driven model of healthcare education.

What makes this project different is not just the program, but the purpose behind it. ASU Health is focused on improving health outcomes across Arizona by creating stronger connections between education, research, technology, and community care. The facility is being designed as a hub for collaboration where students, educators, researchers, and healthcare partners can work across disciplines to rethink how healthcare is delivered and experienced.

This extraordinary new facility is scheduled to open in time for the 2028 fall semester.
