SMU to open 33,000-SF Health Center

DALLAS – Southern Methodist University has broken ground on its new Dr. Bob Smith Health Center, a 33,000-sf center at 6211 Bishop Blvd. that is designed to serve more than 11,000 university students throughout the school year.

The new two-story health center was made possible with a $5 million gift from the Dr. Bob and Jean Smith Foundation, which is why the health center is named after the longtime Dallas pediatrician and alumnus of SMU.

The new center will include outpatient medical care, a laboratory, radiology and pharmacy service. It will also include part-time specialists in dermatology, gynecology, dental services and sports medicine.

The center is scheduled for completion in spring 2016.
