Now more than ever, student health and wellness is a key priority for the University. As UVA’s population has grown in recent years, so has the demand for a more comprehensive program of student health and wellness services. That demand is about to be met, thanks to the generous gifts and support from the UVA community.

Designed by VMDO and Duda Paine Architects, the new Student Health and Wellness Center will be a four-story, 160,000-square-foot facility providing core health services, as well as a variety of wellness resources. Opening in summer 2021, the center will be in the Brandon Avenue Green Street district, adjacent to a new upper-class housing building and along a new “green street,” a redesigned streetscape with open spaces and stormwater management landscaping.

The project’s design team is pursuing the International WELL Building Institute’s WELL Building Standard Certification, which assesses a building’s positive impact on the health of its occupants. This certification includes the highest standards for air and water quality as well as the availability of exterior views of nature and contemplative and community spaces. The building will also incorporate sustainable elements in anticipation of achieving U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification.
