Colorado State University’s Health and Medical Center is now open to students and the public. To celebrate the building’s opening, a festive ribbon cutting was held July 28 to honor those who generously donated to the facility. In addition, the public was invited to a Community Open House on July 29 to see the building and learn more about the services offered to the public.
Full range of services
“CSU has a mission toward health, envisioning health for all faculty, staff and students. And this building is a symbol for the desire to have a healthy campus,” said Anne Hudgens, executive director of the CSU Health Network.
The CSU Health and Medical Center is the new home of the CSU Health Network, which provides a full range of medical, counseling, and health education and prevention services that are open to all enrolled CSU students, regardless of their health insurance plan. The 113,000 square-foot, four-story building also houses a range of services to CSU faculty, staff, and community members.
“Before now, we were located in three separate locations on campus. Now, for the first time, the CSU Health Network is all working under one roof,” Hudgens said.
Speakers at the ribbon cutting event included Linda Wagner of Bennet Wagner Grody Architects, who along with an incredible team at Adolfson & Peterson Construction, helped turn the design into a reality. In addition, Vice President for University Operations Lynn Johnson recognized the building partners, and Jeff McCubbin, dean of the College of Health and Human Sciences, recognized the donors to the project.
Partners and donors
In addition to the CSU Health Network, UCHealth, Associates in Family Medicine, Poudre Infusion Therapy, and the Kendall Reagan Nutrition Center are providing health-related services open to community members and CSU faculty and staff. Community services include occupational medicine and rehabilitation services, digital X-ray imaging, family medicine and counseling, and much more. Columbine Health Systems Center for Healthy Aging provides a dedicated space for cutting-edge research and educational outreach in partnership with CSU academic programs to help older adults stay healthy longer.
Funding for the $59 million project was made possible through CSU student fees, CSU Health Network revenue, tenant leases and private donations, including a $5 million gift from UCHealth, a $5 million gift from Bob and Kitty Wilson on behalf of Columbine Health Systems, and generous gifts from the Griffin Foundation, the Boettcher Foundation and Pat and Larry Kendall, who were all recognized at the event.
“This building is made for every single person on campus. You do not have to fit a certain mold in order to enter this building and use its resources,” said CSU student Braede Wilcox, president of the Student Health Advisory Council. “And they’ll know that this is a state-of-the-art facility that they can count on to handle their needs.”
The CSU Health Network is planning additional open house events for students and campus partners during the fall semester. To see a complete list of services available in the CSU Health and Medical Center, click here.
