New Health Sciences Campus Opens in City of Hollywood

Barry University and the city of Hollywood gave new life to an old firehouse by converting the empty space into classrooms for medical students.

 

Barry’s College of Health Sciences relocated two graduate health profession programs, Anesthesiology and Biomedical Sciences, to Hollywood. The university, which has its main campus in Miami Shores, renovated the 10,000-square-foot space, housing new offices, classrooms and a digital lab for faculty, staff and students. The campus will include a simulation center that provides realistic opportunities for nurse anesthesiology students to practice their skills before entering surgery.

 

Barry students and faculty will provide the city’s residents with community programs that emphasize health education, risk prevention and wellness. Throughout the year, health seminars and screenings will be offered at the Fred Lippman Multi-Purpose Center at 2030 Polk Street.
