The College of Nursing swung open the doors of Jane E. Heminger Hall in August, welcoming students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors and partners who will use the 40,000-square-foot facility to think and achieve the impossible for the benefit of the world’s health and well-being. The building features a soaring, three-story, glass-enclosed atrium that serves as both a connector to the college’s long-time home of Newton Hall and a new and inviting destination for collaboration and transdisciplinary learning. Jane E. Heminger Hall creates a new gateway to Ohio State’s health science campus and serves as a home for the colleges’ flourishing portfolios in education, evidence-based practice, research, innovation, wellness and community impact.
