New home is ‘heaven’ for College of Health Professions
College of Health Professions Dean Suzanne Mellon, UDM President Gerard L. Stockhausen, S.J., and President Emeritus Maureen A. Fay, O. P., formally open the new Health Professions facility with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
It’s been nearly three months since the University of Detroit Mercy’s College of Health Professions moved into its new home on the McNichols Campus, and the verdict is in:
“The comment I’m hearing the most is ‘I feel like I’ve died and gone to heaven’,” says Dean Suzanne Mellon.
The 48,480-square foot facility -- a new structure connected to the south wing of Lansing-Reilly Hall, which was extensively remodeled -- features state-of-the-art classrooms, laboratories, offices and conference spaces.
“The environment is so beautiful,” says Mike Dosch, program director and chair of the Nurse Anesthesia program. “We are thrilled to be here.”
