YMCA ground breaking
ATSU makes its home in Mesa’s Arizona Health & Technology Park, an area inhabited by a variety of national healthcare industries, professionals, and organizations. Now, with a fourth building completed and construction beginning on a fifth, ATSU is realizing the goal of connecting with partners who will both enhance students’ educational opportunities and contribute to the surrounding community.
In December 2008, construction was completed on a fourth building in the park that is now available for medical and other healthcare services. The YMCA and HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital also recently broke ground on new facilities slated for completion in fall 2009.
“The unique opportunity to have a YMCA on the ATSU’s Arizona Campus gives us the chance to directly support the University’s osteopathic philosophy, which is founded on health and wellness,” said Associate Provost Ted Wendel, Ph.D. “Students, faculty, and staff can enhance their own fitness while reaching out to the East Valley community with ATSU educational programs.”
