A state-of-the-art facility. That’s the Speech Language and Hearing Sciences Building at San Diego State University. It wasn’t always so impressive.
The Speech Language and Hearing Sciences Building didn’t start as a dedicated facility. It was once the Student Health Services building. A significant renovation transformed this 28000 square foot space. Now it houses cutting-edge academic clinical and research areas.
Clinics offer speech language and hearing services to people of all ages. Imagine the countless lives touched by the work done within these walls. One remarkable feature is a high-tech motion capture lab. This lab supports ongoing research projects. The renovation was ambitious completed in a mere six months. The design-build team cleverly reused parts of the original structure. Precise acoustics were crucial. Meeting those standards was a top priority.
The building boasts LEED Silver certification. Skylights flood the interior with natural light. The renovation included upgrades to mechanical systems. Low-emitting materials were used throughout the construction. This commitment to sustainability shows SDSU’s dedication to environmental responsibility. The Speech Language and Hearing Sciences Building stands as a testament to innovation. It demonstrates the university’s commitment to education research and community service. It’s more than just a building. It’s a hub of progress in the field of communication sciences and disorders. A place where students learn and grow researchers discover and innovate and patients find healing and support. It’s a building filled with stories waiting to be told. A place where the power of communication is celebrated. And the future of communication science is shaped.
