Upstate Medical University’s College of Health Professions completes interior renovations

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Upstate Medical University announced that Silverman Hall, which is home to the College of Health Professions, has undergone a complete interior renovation. It now includes “state-of-the-art” teaching spaces for many of the college’s programs, Upstate said in an email. The medical school held a July 15 reception to acknowledge the renovation project. Project highlights include a four-bed, intensive care unit for teaching; clinical perfusion simulation laboratory; pediatric physical therapy teaching laboratory; respiratory therapy laboratory; and medical imaging and radiation science teaching spaces, Upstate Medical University said. The work also included wall art that illustrates Silverman Hall’s “storied beginnings” as a hospital for polio patients. The College of Health Professions provides training and education to those working to become respiratory therapists, medical imaging scientists, ultrasound technologists, medical technologists and clinical perfusionists, Upstate said. Silverman Hall is located at the end of University Place, between the VA Medical Center and Weiskotten Hall.
