Health Sciences Building Campaign

Our health sciences initiative aligns Berry's institutional strengths with community need as we seek to prepare increasing numbers of talented students to engage head, heart and hands in their work as healthcare providers. This effort builds on the success of our nursing program and adds a graduate-level program to train physician associates. To support this growth, Berry is constructing Morgan-Bailey Hall, a new health sciences facility with 36,000 square feet of academic space designed to optimize firsthand learning experiences and skill development for our health science programs. The third floor will provide housing for 75 undergraduates. Construction is underway and the opening is planned for summer 2025.

When you give to the health sciences building, you join lead donors, foundation partners, alumni, board members and friends in making this project a reality. Those interested in naming opportunities associated with the project should contact Scott Breithaupt (91C, 96G) at sbreithaupt@berry.edu.
