An integrated approach

When the university's medical school merged with its public health department, it signaled a profound change for the departments. This new integrated approach to medicine was designed to address the evolving health care needs of Wisconsin, while educating health professionals, and expanding the boundaries of science through research.

To accommodate an expansion of programs and growth in curriculum, a new faculty office building was constructed. Housing up to twelve individual departments, the new building provides an open, collaborative environment, while allowing each resident group to maintain an individual identity.
