The 92,000 SF Health Professions Building at Tarleton State University, for which Vaughn serves as construction manager-at-risk, is part of the university’s initiative to add three new degree programs, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and physician assistant studies. Specialized laboratory space and public clinics will allow students to gain crucial hands-on experience in these areas. The new degree options join existing programs in kinesiology, nutrition science, social work, public health, athletic training, and communication sciences and disorders.
