Texas Woman’s University (TWU) will break ground on a $107 million health sciences center in Denton on Friday, Sept. 15.

The new 136,000-square-foot health sciences center will be built on a seven-acre site adjacent to a Texas Woman’s University student housing complex in Denton, Texas.

The 136,000-square-foot facility will serve students in the allied healthcare fields such as nursing, physical therapy and occupational therapy. TWU states the goal of the center is to graduate 30 percent more nursing and healthcare professionals, with a special emphasis on preparing students to serve in rural settings.

The new health sciences center will be constructed on seven acres adjacent to Parliament Village, a TWU residential complex housing 872 students. Plans for the facility include laboratory space, classrooms, collaborative workspaces, outdoor clinic sites and a teaching kitchen, as well as community healthcare clinics and training areas for students.

Alongside the groundbreaking, TWU will launch the public phase of the $125 million Dream Big Campaign. This is TWU’S first comprehensive fundraising campaign. The Dream Big Campaign is intended to commemorate university’s 125th anniversary in 2026.

TWU is a public university that was established in 1901. The university’s main campus is in Denton, with additional health science centers in Dallas and Houston. While TWU admitted its first male students in 1972 and has been fully co-educational since 1992, the school is the largest state-supported university primarily for women in the United States.

According to the university, funds raised from the Dream Big Campaign will support TWU’s growth and development in health and life sciences, financial and business services, entrepreneurship, technology and aviation fields.
