UHCO Health Science Center Groundbreaking



Dr. Nguyen, pictured above along with 6 other TSO doctors, celebrated the groundbreaking for the new Health and Biomedical Sciences Center at the Univeristy of Houston this past Wednesday.  The Doctors of TSO are proud to have donated $1 million to the construction of the innovative new building.

The building represents a new milestone in education for the University of Houston College of Optometry. It will include an “ambulatory surgery center – the first of its kind in an optometry school,” says the university’s press release. “Its two components will include a place for outpatient ophthalmic procedures like cataract surgery and another for laser-refractive surgery, better known as LASIK.”

"The center will bring together several scientific departments across the university. Neuropsychology, neuroscience, measurement and statistics, biology, biochemistry, biomedical engineering, pharmacy, optometry, computer science and computational physiology will all collaborate at the new building."

Construction is scheduled to be completed in Fall 2012
