Providing increasing services to a growing number of students required a great deal more space. Critical core service areas housed in the building promote total health.

Natural light fills the entrance as well as all three floors of the new facility. The glass-walled reception area provides a bridge between the building’s north and south structures.
Featuring space for clinical, educational, and research activities in a welcoming environment, the center houses five core areas: General Medicine, Women’s Health, Counseling and Psychological Services, Student Disability Access Center, and Health Promotion. The Department of Kinesiology in the School of Education and Human Development is on the third floor of the new facility.
The new center enables us to take student health care to a new level and to be on equal footing with our peers. I am excited to say this new facility has set the stage for providing a complete spectrum of care and service.

The University of Virginia acquired Brandon Avenue and the surrounding property. The transformation of the street with park-like landscaping features has expanded the Grounds and connected student life across the University.
Once a dark, narrow road lined with cars and ending at the railroad tracks, Brandon Avenue has been transformed into a walkable and bikeable community, promoting outdoor activities and engagement in a healthy lifestyle for the entire neighborhood.

The center’s focus on comprehensive health and wellness throughout the student experience is integrated in its design and conception within the Green Street landscape plan.
The Green Street space features a park-like setting of broad sidewalks, flowering trees, and ornamental grasses, with a diagonal walkway leading to the center entrance. A nearby pond and other natural elements invites relaxation and recreation.
