• In phase A, the 5th floor simulation labs on the north end (labs A and B) will be renovated to get new flooring, new paint, and new simulators. While the labs on the north end are being renovated, all these operations will be moved to Lab C.   

• • Impact: No academic classes are booked in labs during the summer, but we know that some students may use the simulation labs, which is why we are keeping one open for use. We anticipate no major impact.  

• The other phase A project is that on the 2nd floor, the AEGD and GP9 clinics will be relocating two hallways down the hall to the GP7 and GP8 hallways while their clinic space is getting renovated.  The AEGD receptionist area will be closed as well during this time with those services taking place around the corner at the General Dentistry GP receptionist area.   

• • Impact: All students will stay on the 3rd floor.  The AEGD clinic will continue to function just two hallways down the hall and patients will check-in around the corner at the General Practice Receptionist area.   

• North end of clinics on the second floor.  

• • Impact: All students will be using the 3rd floor for the treatment of patients until August when the 2nd floor will be complete and available for patient treatment. 

• In phase C, the GP directors will be moving from the first floor to the 5th floor where the Dream Lab is currently located. This move is to set-up the first floor for the new Ambulatory Surgery Center, which we anticipate beginning construction on in Spring 2025. 

• • Impact: 3rd and 4th year dental students will now meet with their GP director on the 5th floor where they relocate instead of the 1st floor. 

No, any changes to tuition rates will be unrelated to the construction. The renovations are budgeted separately and will not directly impact tuition rates. While tuition rates are reviewed annually and may increase in the future, such increases will not be due to the construction.

Yes, new provider chairs will be installed in both the clinic and simulation labs.

We are closely monitoring the timeline to minimize any potential delays. If there are unforeseen delays, we will communicate promptly and make necessary adjustments to ensure minimal disruption.

The new equipment is designed to be adjustable for both right-handed and left-handed students, ensuring effective use without obstruction.

No, there will be no impact on other areas. All operations in non-renovated areas will proceed as usual.

We understand the interest in accessing the second floor and are in discussions about making this possible. Our primary concern is ensuring students have access to chairs to see patients.

Yes, but this is a separate project from the clinic renovation. An ambulatory surgery center will be built on the first floor, with construction scheduled to begin in early 2025. Student activities will continue on floors 2-5.

Ensuring students have access to dental chairs to provide clinical care is our top priority. We will prioritize students' needs and ensure that scheduling takes required competencies into consideration.
