HOUGHTON, MI— Michigan Tech has received $55 million to construct a new facility to support student health and wellbeing.
The gift comes from alumnus and philanthropist Chang K. Park, who graduated from Michigan Tech in 1973 with dual degrees in electrical engineering and engineering administration.
The 90,000-square-foot Chang K. Park Center for Student Wellness will support the four pillars of Michigan Tech's Be Well Initiative: Live Well, Play Well, Connect Well, and Recharge Well. It will advance student emotional, physical and mental health, with dedicated space for instructional areas, a fitness center, locker rooms, group training rooms, a medical clinic, outreach and prevention offices, and accessible wellness amenities throughout.
The building will be located between the Memorial Union and Administration buildings.
