Best Higher Education: University of Texas at Arlington School of Social Work & Smart Hospital Building
Located at the heart of UT Arlington’s main campus is its newest facility, featuring a mix of classrooms; flexible and state-of-the-art technology; enriched learning spaces; teaching and research labs; faculty and staff offices; study and support spaces; and infrastructure support space. Crews completed construction on the $68.9-million facility in November 2022, with an official ribbon cutting following in April 2023.
Programmatically, the building stitches together two programs, becoming the all-inclusive home for the established School of Social Work and a large skills and simulation component for the College of Nursing & Health Innovation.
