Engineering to move to UHS site
Health services to relocate to Dixwell facility in 2010; current building to be demolished
For decades, Yale students have schlepped to 17 Hillhouse Ave. in hopes of battling off the tiny germs that cause their colds and coughs. But a few years from now, the only thing tiny they will find there are the nanowires and quantum dots that have captured the intrigue of Yale engineers.
Yale University Health Services will move into a striking new building behind the Grove Street Cemetery as early as 2010, and its existing space on Hillhouse Avenue will be replaced with a significant new facility for the Faculty of Engineering. Construction on the new facility will likely...
I eagerly await the announcement of a $600 million new dormitory to replace HHH and repay the international graduate student community for the squalor they've faced in that building for years.
Wouldn't it be a better idea to build a security substaion into this new building? You already have the Yale PD right next to the new YHP site. Why lump everything together? A security station in the Trumbull/Whitney area seems a better proposition.
Can Yale please, please, please, PLEASE include space for a dental clinic? I will never understand why the health of one's teeth is deemed unimportant by insurance plans - it's a part of one's body that can cause intense pain and dangerous infections if left untreated. Dental needs left unattended will develop into serious complications which both bankrupt poor students and can result in permanent oral injury. Take some of that massive increase in endowment spending and do something important and needed with it - fund a staff of dentists to treat all Yale affiliates. This will save Yale some money on its current dental plans for staff and faculty and also allow Yale to stop neglecting its students. UConn has dental coverage - why can't Yale?
