Beginning Monday, May 20, renovations beginning at Gannett Health Center will temporarily relocate several departments and restrict entry to the building.
The main entrance, which fronts on Ho Plaza, and the rear emergency entrance will be closed for the summer. All patients, visitors, deliveries and emergencies will be served throughout the renovation by the entrance located at the upper parking lot in the rear of the building (accessed from Campus Road). This temporary main entrance will include a handicapped-accessible ramp.
The health center is scheduled to be fully operational by Aug. 26, barring any construction delays, said Nianne VanFleet, director of nursing and coordinator of in-house construction.
"The Radiology Unit will be the only service closed for the summer," VanFleet said. "Gannett patients will be referred to Convenient Care Center on Warren Road for X-rays. Rides will be available for students and others without transportation."
The laboratory will move temporarily to the third floor of the health center, which will continue to house the contraception, gynecology and sexual services (CGSS) units and the health education office.
The student insurance office will relocate to the main floor, and the dispensary will remain on the main floor for the summer. The cashier's station will move temporarily to the administration floor and share space in the billing department. Psychological services will remain on the ground floor, but it will operate with a reduced staff and services throughout the construction. Patients and visitors are advised to use the elevator to move between floors and units and to be alert to signs that help guide them through the center during the construction period.
