Tours welcome at Cook-DeVos building

The Cook-DeVos Center for Health Sciences will be occupied in August but preview tours are available now.

Every Friday, Pew Campus Operations staff members will lead tours of the building. Those interested are asked to make reservations by calling x16700. On the day of the tour, attendees are asked to meet in the Plaza at the DeVos Center at 3:30 p.m. to take a shuttle bus to the Health Sciences building.

Lisa Haynes, director of Pew Campus Operations, said bus ridership is encouraged because of limited parking at the center, at the corner of Michigan and Lafayette streets. She said there will be 165 parking spaces for faculty and staff; students will park on the Pew Campus and ride shuttle buses.

The Campus Connector runs every 20 minutes Monday through Thursday 7a.m.-6 p.m. and every 30 minutes after 6 p.m. and on Fridays. It stops in front of Kirkof Center and Mackinac Hall at the Allendale Campus and at the Pew Campus bus stop under U.S. 131. On Saturdays, the Connector alternates between the Pew Campus and Rivertown Crossing Mall.

The Cook-DeVos Center for Health Sciences will house all of Grand Valley's health sciences programs. More than 1,500 students in the School of Health Professions, the Kirkhof School of Nursing and Life Sciences will learn and conduct research when it opens in the fall.
