The Norris Health Center was acquired in the Milwaukee-Downer College campus purchase. The last building erected by the College, it served as a student health center for Milwaukee-Downer College and UWM. It also housed the UWM School of Nursing until its move to Cunningham Hall. The second floor attic was remodeled and opened in 1991.
The building was named for Professor Robert E. Norris (1905-1971), a member of the Mathematics Department from 1932 to 1971 and chairman from 1932 to 1956, as well as dean of the faculty for the Teachers College. In 1956 he was appointed UWM's first Dean of Student Affairs and served in that capacity until 1966. He died in 1971, and the Center was dedicated to his memory in 1972. |
