UVA Student Health and Wellness CenterAfter years of hard work and planning, the 156,000 square foot UVA Student Health and Wellness Center has opened for students and school employees.

The official opening of the four-story building on the University of Virginia’s campus was October 15, 2021, marking the end of a project that took seven years to plan and complete.
