AMHERST, N.Y. – Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul toured Daemen College’s new Academic and Wellness Center, which houses state-of-the-art learning spaces for health-related academic programs and fitness and recreational areas, as part of a Dec. 4 visit to the college.

“We are delighted to have the opportunity to host Lt. Gov. Hochul on Daemen’s campus and to showcase the exceptional learning and recreational spaces available in our new world-class facility,” said Daemen President Gary A. Olson.

Hochul received an inside look at the Academic and Wellness Center’s high-tech classrooms and multimedia learning tools used to enhance the educational experience for students in Daemen’s physical therapy, athletic training and health care studies programs. Opened in the fall, the $5.6 million completely refurbished building, which is located across the street from the college’s main campus, also includes a modern fitness center and renovated gymnasium.
