October 1 was a big day for the Applied Health Sciences (AHS) family, as we celebrated the official opening of our brand-new AHS Expansion Building.
The four-storey 56,000 square-foot building now houses the Faculty’s anatomy lab, kinesiology research and teaching labs, a 350-seat lecture theatre, and much-needed student workspaces. Kinesiology Laboratory and Administrative Coordinator Marg Burnett says it’s been wonderful to see the students’ response to the bright, clean new workspaces. “AHS has grown so much and our students were once scattered all across campus. Now we’re able to provide them with a hub and a home.”
Tamara Maciel provides visitors a tour of the new School of Anatomy space at the building's grand opening.
Equally important — the building houses a new on-campus Starbucks! Thanks to Marg and everyone involved for creating such a beautiful new space for our hard-working faculty and students, and to those of you who gave generously to make this dream come true.
