Now this present makes the grade.
Nothing is better than a new 50,000-square-foot building for a 10th anniversary present for SHU's College of Education and Health Professions
The new and more spacious facility will be located at 7 Cambridge Drive in Trumbull. It will include larger classrooms, labs, a student lounge and a cafeteria.
The majority of students who will be affected by the change belong to programs such as Teacher Certification, Educational Leadership, Nursing, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Athletic Training, and Excursive Science. These programs make up about 1,800 of the university's students and they will be the student staking classes in the new facility.
All programs will feature something new, for example, Occupational Therapy will feature an independent living lab along with a functioning kitchen and bathroom, a biomechanical lab and a pediatric lab.
The Nursing Department will have labs and a hospital. Physical Therapy and Human Movement Science areas will have four laboratories including human performance and cardiopulmonary labs. The Education Department will have a reading clinic serving school students.
"Personally, I think the building should be closer to school," said Frank D'errico, senior, Hamilton N.J. "Being ten minutes away from school I think its going to be hard for students to be on time. But I do think Sacred Heart needs to expand, just somewhere closer."
SHU plans on having students take their core and elective courses at the main campus as well as any outside of school activities. Shuttle bus services will also be available.
"With not being in any of these programs, I have no thoughts...but I do know that Sacred Heart needs to build some more dorms," said Dale Fink, freshman, Swansea, Ill.
Although many students think that the new building isn't going to affect them, SHU plans to invest $10 million dollars to enhance the new facility in the next five years to accommodate the needs of students. Access to resources like computer labs, a library, and a media center will also be available.
"I think this is a great idea, I hope that it will make some space in the main building where my classes are. Although I do wonder how they are going to make the schedules and times work," said Lenana Tankeng, Quonkers, N.Y.
Sacred Heart hopes to keep on expanding for everyone, plans to have the new building open by July 1, 2007 have been set in motion.
