Construction is underway at the University of Wisconsin-Superior in a space on the first floor of Swenson Hall. Once completed, Swenson 1057 and 1058 will become the future home of both the Pruitt Center for Mindfulness and Well-Being and Student Health and Counseling Services.

A hallway with an open door reveals a room under construction, with exposed metal framing and a ladder inside. Brown paper covers the adjacent window. The hallway floor is tiled and brightly lit.

Although these two departments have long operated under one organizational umbrella, they have not previously been housed in the same physical location. Student Health and Counseling Services provides reactive and response-based services, including counseling, psychiatric referrals and psychoeducation for students, while the Pruitt Center offers proactive, preventive services such as classes, trainings, workshops and resources focused on building positive mental health. Bringing these services together in the new space will strengthen collaboration and create a more seamless, comprehensive experience for students seeking support.

The new location is also close in proximity to other student support offices, including the Education Success Center, Gender Equity Resource Center (GERC), Indigenous Cultures Resource Center (ICRC) and the Link Center. This central placement will help make health and well‑being resources even more accessible to the campus community.

The Pruitt Center will share more updates as the new space takes shape.
