Southern University of New Orleans Nursing and Allied Health Building

The new Nursing and Allied Health Building at Southern University at New Orleans (SUNO) is a transformative 2-story, 34,000-square-foot facility advancing SUNO’s mission to empower diverse populations through high-quality education and workforce development. As a new campus anchor along Press Drive, its bold form and transparent façade offer high-profile visibility, symbolizing SUNO’s commitment to community health, equity, and student success.

The building unites programs in nursing, social work, and health information management, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration in a state-of-the-art environment. Classrooms and simulation labs support modern pedagogies and healthcare technologies, while flexible, daylight-filled spaces encourage collaborative learning and inter-professional education.
