Extensive interior and exterior renovations will give the School
of Public Health and Health Professions a modern, consolidated home
base.
Occupants of Stockton Kimball Tower will be the beneficiaries of
an array of coordinated renovation projects that are modernizing
the former dormitory, originally completed in 1957. With the
relocation of the School of Nursing to Wende Hall, the $9 million
effort will make possible the consolidation of the School of Public
Health and Health Professions. Once scattered among seven different
buildings, all but the school’s clinical programs will soon
be together in Kimball. Projects include restoration of the
building exterior, new fire alarms, asbestos abatement, new sewer
infrastructure to eliminate basement flooding, a new roof and air
conditioning. Other projects have provided new office space,
classrooms and “learning landscape” features. The
consolidation of the school in Kimball will also empty Diefendorf
Annex, making way for removal of that “temporary”
structure.
