CURRENT NEED FOR CSU HEALTH SERVICES: Currently located in two aging buildings on campus: Aylesworth Hall and Hartshorn Health Services.  Aylesworth Hall was built in 1956 as a residence hall. Its design does not facilitate health care or counseling services.  Hartshorn was built in 1964 as an infirmary when CSU had about 9,000 students.  Since 1964, the CSU student population has almost tripled and health care needs of students have changed dramatically.  Demand for health care services already exceeds the physical capacity of both buildings.  More than half of all CSU students use the Health Network, making it one of the most widely used student services on campus.  A more efficient building design would enable CSU Health Network providers to serve up to 40 percent more students.

The center entrance is directly adjacent to the MAX station on Prospect Road. Through a city and university partnership, all CSU students ride MAX for free with their student ID card, providing them with reliable, convenient transportation to the center. MAX also provides public access to the center. A nearby Around the Horn shuttle stop, a free on-campus shuttle, provides access from other areas on campus to all students, employees and campus visitors. The center may be accessed by vehicle off of College Avenue at Lake Street. Parking is available on site, with 120 spaces at the center. A new university parking garage, to be ready for occupancy before the completion of the Medical Center, is planned immediately to the north, adding 450 spaces to an existing parking lot.
