Chancellor Wendler takes viewers on a tour of the new Student Health Programs

Generations of students have relied on the caring professionals in Student Health Programs. Come fall 2005, the care and professionalism will still be in place, enhanced by a state-of-the-art facility conveniently located on the campus’ east side. Construction on this 57,000-square-foot building, adjacent to the Student Recreation Center, began in summer 2004. Upon completion, this will be the largest campus healthplex in the nation. It will provide students a continuum of care under one roof, replacing the buildings on Greek Row on the far west side of campus that have housed Student Health Programs for the past 38 years.
