proud of each and every one," says Dr. Paul Cassano, Vice

CAMPUS UNDER CONSTRUCTION:
Health Education and Learning Centre
By next summer, the University of Windsor will have, on Sunset
Avenue, an outstanding new $18-million Health Education and
Learning Centre.The three-storey facility will enable the university to
provide additional seating for almost 1,100 students during a single
class session in six classrooms ranging from 100 seats up to a 268-seat lecture theatre.
The centre will house the Faculty of Nursing with undergraduate and
graduate programs for nurses and nurse practitioners; six major new
classrooms; state-of-the-art communications technologies. Offices
of the Associate Dean and administration for the new Windsor
interns program of the Southwestern Ontario Medical Education
Network (SWOMEN) will also be in this building.
A wing within the 66,000-square-foot academic building will be
dedicated to the new initiatives in medical education and a high tech
board room connected via WEDnet and ORION high speed
computer networks to research and teaching facilities across the Province.
New Residence On Time And On Budget
The new University of Windsor Student Residence building is a key
element in the strategy to manage the increase in student population
resulting from the double cohort of secondary school graduates, the
last of the five-year stream and the first of the four-year stream.
When complete, the new residence will be a 117,000-square-foot,
five-storey brick building, which will house 348 students. It is
designed with full accessibility and will have five suites for persons
with physical disabilities. The building design is energy efficient and will
incorporate important personal productivity tools such as high-speed
internet access in each suite.
Dramatic Art Building
One of the more challenging construction projects on the University of
Windsor campus is the new 33,000-square-foot, two-storey Dramatic
Art facility that will wrap around north and west sides of the Essex Hall
Theatre.
Designed for the university's renowned School of Dramatic Art, it will
replace much of the space in the current Drama Building with new
offices and studios for instruction in acting, movement, drama in
education, and voice, plus a Studio Theatre for public performances.
The building will be outfitted with sound abatement and high-tech
lighting for the rehearsal spaces and ready to be occupied by next June.
