The health education department at Watkins Memorial Health Center is looking forward to moving day.
Remodeling, which began Jan. 6, will give the department space on the first floor close to the main entrance. The department is expected to move there in March or April from its second-floor offices.
The move means more accessibility to health information for students at the University of Kansas, said Janine Wardroth, a professor for health education at Wakkins.
Since the health education department started at Watkins in 1983, it has been situated in three different places within the city and on many of mains teem contact with students.

In fiscal year 1991, from July 1990 to June 1991, the health education department consulted with 465 students for personal health reasons or academic projects, Demo said. Members of the department staff also had contact with more than 24,000 individuals through group sessions.
Until the move, health educators must deal with a few inconveniences, she said.
Demo said a peer health adviser course that usually met in the first floor conference room at Watkins probably would be held at Robinson Center until the remodeling was done.

but it will be worth it," Hunsinger said.
Jim Strobel, director of Watkins, said the remodeling was being done by B A Green Construction Company Inc. of Lawrence and would cost $9,000.
"It's going to be a little bit of a hassle,
The money for the remodeling will come from a student fee of less than $2 a student, Strobi said. The state of Kansas controls the spending of that money.
