The School of Nursing and Health Sciences has moved to new facilities in St. Benilde Tower on West Campus. St. Benilde Tower, originally Wister Tower of the Germantown Hospital Campus acquired by La Salle in the summer of 2007, has been renovated with new classrooms, labs, and offices. Classes began in the new facility in the spring 2008 semester. To see La Salle’s campus footprint, depicting the new facility's location in relation to the rest of the campus, click here.
Welcome to the School of Nursing and Health Sciences at La Salle University.
The administrators and faculty of the first academic nursing program offered at La Salle greeted students for the first time in the fall 1980. Speech-Language-Hearing Science Programs presented courses initially during the fall 2000 and the Nutrition Program, spring 2000, having moved from the School of Arts and Sciences to the School of Nursing and Health Sciences. Together faculty, staff, and administrators have built our programs and helped students learn the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of our respective health care professions. We celebrate our students and their many accomplishments.
At the same time our programs have expanded so have our space needs. We have transformed classrooms into office spaces in Wister Hall on Main Campus and have established smart classrooms there. We renovated nursing and speech-language pathology laboratories in Holroyd and Wister buildings.
This December, the School of Nursing and Health Sciences will move to the Germantown Hospital property purchased by La Salle University. Faculty, staff, and administrators will occupy offices in St. Benilde and Center towers. The Nursing Learning Resource Center will expand. We will develop the Speech-Language-Hearing Science clinic spaces and ultimately open a Food Laboratory and Center for Nutrition Policy and Community Programs.
We hope our students enjoy the changes that our move to the West Campus promises. All of us are very hopeful that our new home brings our students a wonderful educational experience.
