The School of Medicine & Health Sciences building, which opened in July 2016, was designed to foster collaborative learning and interprofessional education.

The structure has a north-south oriented “Main Street” around which there are clustered various classrooms, small-group rooms, an auditorium, simulation center, anatomy labs, and learning communities. To the east is a wing for faculty, staff and administrative offices, and the west wing houses much of our research enterprise. The new facility also provides—for the first time under one roof—a home for all of the School’s departments, some of which have had to be housed in separate locations on the Grand Forks campus for lack of space at the current SMHS headquarters.

Over $20 million of research, most of it federally funded by agencies such as the CDC and NIH, is conducted by faculty and graduate student researchers each academic year. SMHS research specializations include neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, infectious disease, the environmental and genetic bases of diseases like cancer (epigenetics), immune and inflammatory disease, and health disparities between different populations.

Finally, the newest SMHS building, which was dedicated to the citizens of North Dakota who financed its construction, serves also as a free art gallery. Displaying hundreds of works by world-renowned artists whose pieces have ended up in UND's collection over the years, the School doubles as an art gallery, offering visitors to the building the free access to pieces by Honore Daumier, Emily Lunde, Matisse, Max Ernst, Walter Piehl, Daniel Heyman, and Audrey Flack, among many other notable visual artists.
