With current achievements of the University of Houston, the demand for state-of-the-art facilities to conduct research has increased. The institution has shifted their focus to research and medical sciences in order to pioneer the health and biomedical field. The persistence of the school to erect such a science center has resulted with the construction of the six-story Health and Biomedical Sciences Center, hosted by the College of Optometry. This facility houses a myriad of science branches that integrates clinical, educational and interdisciplinary research structure. The intention is to prepare prospective medical members in both the classroom and in practice by fusing them together. The building is comprised of academic classrooms, interactive study areas with roof garden access and faculty office space. The research portion of the building includes the most current laboratory spaces, computational labs and animal care facilities. As the last essential component, the practice side contains ambulatory, surgical and laser suites supported by exam rooms. The University of Houston holds high hopes that the Health and Biomedical Sciences Center will become the epitome of modern medical research.
