SCHENECTADY, N.Y. – Union College has announced plans to build a new, $2.3 million health and wellness center, adjacent to the Alumni Gym.
Plans for the 'Wicker Wellness Center' were announced Saturday during Homecoming Weekend.
Construction is scheduled to begin early next year, and to be completed in time for the fall 2013 term.

The space will include six exam rooms, offices, a conference room, reception and waiting area, and a staff lounge.
The Eppler-Wolff Center for Psychological Services will be located on the second floor.
The center, which provides confidential individual counseling, couples counseling and roommate conflict mediation, will include a private entry, waiting rooms, six counseling rooms, a relaxation area and offices.
