In conjunction with Graduate Student
Appreciation Week, UF Health hosted
the grand opening of a new graduate
student lounge April 5. The lounge,
located on the ground floor of the
Communicore Building, provides
students from all six of UF’s health
science colleges with a comfortable
space to interact and take a break from
their busy schedules.
Graduate students helped design the
space, which features natural light
and includes pingpong tables, three
Apple TVs, two refrigerators and two
microwaves. The lounge provides a
needed escape for students who can
spend up to 14 hours a day working
in the lab.
