Gateway Health Building—
Integrated Student Health and Wellbeing

Wellbeing—the health of the whole person—is a key commitment of UBC. The university has long had health resources and services to meet the diverse needs of our students. Although we understand that health issues are almost always interconnected, students have faced the daunting task of navigating the university’s services located in various buildings across UBC’s very large campus.

The new Gateway Health building was created in direct response to student requests for a single, centralized location where they can access a full range of student health and wellbeing services and programs. Now, for the first time, students can access primary health care, mental health care and specialists, as well as a hub for health promotion and educational programming all in one place on campus—and it’s also the new home for the Schools of Nursing and Kinesiology.

Located at the historic entrance to the UBC Vancouver campus, the Gateway Health building offers a warm, welcoming presence that signals the university’s commitment to student health and wellbeing. While its opening marked an important milestone, donor support remains essential in creating the physical spaces that enable expanded mental health care, wellbeing services, and programming.

UBC invites you to be a catalyst for change by investing in a space that is changing the way student health and wellbeing is supported on campus. More impor­tantly, you will play an active role in helping today’s students live a balanced and healthy life so they can reach their full potential.
