GREENSBORO, NC–UNCG’s Gove Health Center has gotten a major renovation, along with a 15,000-square-foot addition that has converted the 54-year-old structure to a stand-out building on Gray Drive.
On Saturday, April 14, the campus community will have a chance to see the changes during a 2 p.m. rededication program. Speaking will be Dr. Tresa M. Saxton and Chancellor Patricia A. Sullivan, followed by refreshments and tours. It will be part of UNCG's Alumni Reunion weekend.
The new addition fronts on Gray Drive and has a signature glass atrium that students will have no trouble finding. The renovation has doubled laboratory and X-ray service space, allowing Health Services to offer computed radiography which improves resolution.
The facility also has a check-in and check-out area at the front desk, and separate waiting areas for specialty clinics such as women's health, immunizations and wellness. Other amenities include computer-based testing in the Counseling and Testing Center and a training room for staff in-service training.
The project’s budget was $8.5 million. The two-phase project began in spring semester of 2005, with final re-occupancy completed in January of this year. Opened in 1953, the building was named for Dr. Anna M. Gove, who became a physician to students at the State Normal and Industrial School in 1893, and was the third woman doctor in North Carolina.
