In October 2017, HSU received approval from the
Abilene City Council to purchase a 22,000 square
foot building known as AbLabs from the Development
Corporation of Abilene. Located at 1325 Pine Street,
the building is just nine blocks from the southeast
corner of the main Hardin-Simmons camps. At a cost
of $1.5 million, the university purchased the building
(including equipment and furniture) for about 10%
of the original cost in 2009. While such a new building
is in pristine condition, interior work was necessary to
adapt the space to the needs of the PT Department.
By publication date, the HSU PT Department is
expected to be in their new home.
The increased space will allow the PT school to grow
enrollment from 28 to 40 students per class. With an
average starting salary of $68,000, these students
are perfectly poised, upon graduation from HSU’s
28-month program, not only to fill a critical human
need but also to stay in the Abilene area to aid the
growth of Abilene’s medical industry while also
expanding Abilene’s tax base.

Working with cadavers helps us
realize the dysfunctions caused by
