West Virginia University College of Physical Activity & Sports Science and Student Health Center (CPASS)

摘要

The West Virginia University's College of Physical Activity & Sports Science and Student Health Center, formally titled the "Health and Education Building" upon completion, is the first in a series of new facilities part of WVU's $320 million dollar, 10-year facilities improvement program. Completed in the spring of 2014, the project brings departments and personnel from all corners of the campus to a centralized location focused on student health and fitness. A multitude of influences developed the programmatic and logistic needs of the project. The College of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences grew out of the former physical education program and has had close ties to the intercollegiate sport programs. Classes and offices for the College were located in the University's 14,000-seat Coliseum. With ever expanding needs of college athletics and limited space available, it was decided that the CPASS students would be better served in a dedicated facility. Bringing student health services from the University hospital campus and the Carruth mental health center from the downtown campus, the central- ized location provides a single point of treatment for all ailments. In addition to the three major building tenants, the building also accommodates a retail dining establishment. University-managed CTec classrooms, a pharmacy, and a facilities management regional campus shop.
