A long-awaited construction project is nearly complete at the historic Stone & Thomas building in downtown Huntington.
Now businesses are eagerly bidding for the prime spot across from Pullman Square.
The century-old building is being given new life, now that an 18-month, $14 million total makeover is complete.
Marshall University is setting up shop in the top floors with the new visual arts department.
"This building - there's so much pinned on it,” Sandra Reed, Marshall Art and Design director, said. “It's been called an anchor. It's been called an incubator. It's been called a beacon, and I think all of those things apply."
Reed just joined Marshall's design team, and said the building is going to help put the university on the map for visual arts.
"This is a special place, at a special time," she said.
This is a great addition to the school of Medicine and a desperately-needed department. Dermatology is certainly an area that is currently lacking within the SOM and is an area they can significantly expand on. I see one potential issue on the horizon - space limitations. At some point the SOM (along with CHH) is going to have to undergo another significant expansion to accommodate all of these new programs. The department of Psychiatry announced it's new residency program set to begin in 2015, now the department of Dermatology, and other fast growing departments like neuroscience and endocrinology; they are going to be busting at the seams. I hope some plans are in the works for major expansion in facilities.
HUNTINGTON -- The moment that supporters of Marshall University athletics have been waiting for will come to fruition this weekend.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony for Marshall's new indoor practice facility is set for 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6, at the facility located at 2211 3rd Ave.
The event is invitation-only for the more than 1,000 contributors to Marshall's VISION Campaign, which was the sole source of funding for the athletic complex that houses the facility as well as the Veterans Memorial Soccer Complex, which was completed in August 2013.
The former NBA head coach Mike D'Antoni and former Marshall University standout Chad Pennington served as co-chairmen to the campaign, and they will be on hand during the ceremony, said Marshall University Athletic Director Mike Hamrick.
HUNTINGTON — Marshall University’s $30.5 million athletic complex is one step closer to completion as the new indoor practice facility was officially dedicated on Saturday before the Thundering Herd’s 2014 home opener against Rhode Island.
A sea of green and white filed into the 105,000-square-foot facility for an invitation-only event for the more than 1,000 contributors to Marshall’s VISION Campaign, which was the sole source of funding for the complex, as well as the Veterans Memorial Soccer Complex that was dedicated last summer.
The complex, located along 3rd Avenue next to the Joan C. Edwards Stadium, will include the yet-to-be-completed Marshall University Sports Medicine Translational Research Center, the Buck Harless Student-Athlete Academic Center and the Marshall University Sports Hall of Fame — making it a one-stop-shop for the university’s student-athletes.
With the start of a new program at Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine comes the beginning of a new “global” medical emphasis.
Marshall is an early adopter of the program, Teaching for Quality, or Te4Q, and the idea is to “equip(s) faculty to lead, design and evaluate effective learning in Quality Improvement/Patient Safety across the continuum of health professional development.”
Basically it trains clinical faculty and staff how they can effectively teach patient safety and quality improvement to their medical students, residents and other clinicians.
The six-month certification program was created by the American Association of Medical Colleges and when it was announced, Dean for Graduate Medical Education Paulette Wehner said Marshall “jumped on it because quality improvement and patient safety are one of the major areas of emphasis in post graduate medical training.”
