Health Education Center

This project involved additions to and remodeling of the Chippewa Valley Technical College's LE Phillips Building to accommodate the changing needs of the CVTC Nursing and Dental Programs while providing new space for the University of Wisconsin Health Clinic. The design integrates these three entities to allow shared use of lab spaces and equipment, providing a true clinic environment for those studying to enter a medical field. The project involves approximately 30,000 square feet of remodeling and 65,000 square feet of new construction.

Dedicated UW Health Clinic spaces include exam and procedure rooms, nurse stations, administrative and business offices, intern offices with resource areas, and specialized lab spaces. Dedicated CVTC spaces include nursing and anatomy and physiology labs, multimedia presentation spaces, a working dental clinic, and administrative offices. Shared areas include working sonography and radiology, mock operating rooms, and lab spaces. Marquette School of Dentistry and CVTC provide the surrounding communities with dental care for the less fortunate and uninsured. There are 12 hygiene bays and 5 procedure bays with a separate treatment bay within the lecture area. The lab is expanded to include the needs of both a working clinic and an instructional space.
