Construction Update

The construction/renovation contract for University Hall has been awarded. Renovations are scheduled to begin during the fall of 2006 and it is currently projected that the new facility will be ready for occupancy in the spring/summer of 2007. This will be a state of the art clinical training facility that will serve community constituents and student trainees alike. Once open in 2007, the initial phase of service delivery will include clinics from the following disciplines: marriage and family therapy, social work, psychology, music therapy, exercise science, communication disorders, and community counseling. These clinics will not only be housed together, but a model of interdisciplinary care will be implemented to ensure that the necessary services will be comprehensive and well coordinated.

Renovations are currently underway at University Hall. Several clinic rooms and faculty offices will be created in the space (above).
