Phoenix Union Bioscience High School is a small magnet school within the Phoenix Union High School District and the campus is in downtown Phoenix, Arizona, US. The school specializes in preemptive science education with a concentration in engineering or biomedical studies.[1] A new building was constructed and the existing one renovated, opening in the fall of 2007.

The US$10 million campus which opened in October 2007 is located in Phoenix's downtown Biotechnology Center and open to students throughout the District.[5] The Bioscience High School campus, which was designed by The Orcutt-Winslow Partnership [6] won the American School Board Journal's [7] Learning By Design 2009 Grand Prize Award.
