Bay Pathway Spring/Summer 2020
The 58,000-square-foot Philip H. Ryan Health Science Center is dedicated in January 2015. It is the first free-standing academic
facility built by Bay Path since 1963 and includes state-of-the-art laboratories, classrooms, and study areas, while allowing for future
academic program expansion. Developed to be a "total campus experience," the 11-acre site features labs, a full-scale model
apartment, extensive Wi-Fi throughout the complex, a resource room, wellness room, self-service kitchen and café, a hi-tech building
security system, and ample parking.
