Facilities

Marist University's Science and Allied Health building serves as the home for the School of Science. This building houses the Physician Assistant and Doctor of Physical Therapy programs, as well as existing Medical Technology programs and laboratories for the Department of Biology.

Here, future healthcare professionals learn, collaborate, and develop the skills needed to provide exceptional patient care. The Science and Allied Health building supports Marist's commitment to hands-on, experiential learning and reflects the University's broader investment in science and health education.

Purposefully designed to mirror modern healthcare settings, the building's learning spaces allow students to build clinical knowledge and confidence through hands-on, applied experiences. Key areas include:

The simulation suite features standardized patients and high-tech manikins for instruction in history taking, physical exams, diagnosis, and documentation. Students engage in clinical skills training and Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs). Technology captures voice and video data for self-evaluation, while faculty use it for student evaluations.

These facilities are part of a larger vision for science and health education at Marist. Through the University's Science and Health Initiative, Marist is expanding opportunities for interdisciplinary learning, experiential education, faculty-mentored research, and partnerships with leading healthcare organizations. The initiative is also advancing the development of a fully integrated science and health complex designed to support collaboration, discovery, innovation, and workforce preparation across a wide range of health and science disciplines.
