The University of Arizona Highland Commons brings together two diverse programs, Campus Health Services, which includes Counseling and Psychological Services, and the Disability Resource Center. One of the primary goals of the design is to provide a separate identity for the Disability Resource Center from the medical services components of the building program. A three-story glass gallery serves not only as a grand entry to the facility, but also as a display space for various outreach programs provided by the departments housed in the building. This element helps to draw the campus community into the landscaped courtyard at the heart of the facility which serves as an active gathering space for students, faculty, and staff. The Highland Commons is one of several new projects planned for this area of the University as a part of the master plan developed by Swaim Associates.
