The monograph reports on the University of Washington's School of Nursing involvement in the joint planning of a building to be shared by three educationally autonomous but administratively coordinated schools in a health sciences complex. The final product was a functional interdisciplinary unit capable of accommodating the schools of dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and a health science library. The monograph discusses in detail the concept of health science, the needs and goals of the project, the guidelines that were established, the planning for space needs, the various contributions of the task force, a description of the site visit, the functions of the master building committee, and the role of the School of Nursing in the planning.
