Stunning New Behrakis Center Elevates Health Sciences Education

The impressive George D. Behrakis Health Sciences Center opened on West Campus in November 2002 to raves from faculty and students as well as from national architectural critics and urban planners.

At the dedication, George Behrakis, PAH '57, Hon. '98, spoke of his commitment to educations. "The more we can educate, the better we are as a country," he said.
