The HSOP's renovation plans involve multiple phases. The
Education and Clinic Wing (ECW) has been completed and occupancy
was gained in January 2006. This addition consists of
45,000 sf of new construction attached to the Walker building.A new master plan for future
facilities requirements was developed in 2007.
Construction design and planning is now underway for Phase I in
which offices and teaching laboratories on the 1st and 2nd floor
will be modified over the summer of 2008.
Phase II will add elevators to
the facility and improve the north entrance.
Phase III will remodel the
existing structure to improve research facilities and
laboratories. There will be a west tower added that will
accommodate needed faculty office space. Construction should
start on this addition during the summer 2008 and will take
approximately one year to complete. Also included in this phase
will be a research and development manufacturing facility in the
research park.
Additional future needs beyond
these phases have been programmed. Stay tuned for updates!
