The Student Health Center was constructed in 1930 to meet East Carolina’s student health needs. This building was designed with the Spanish-mission style, featuring the red tile-roof seen in other buildings throughout central campus. The Student Health Center is the primary campus health-care facility, serving enrolled students, while the ECU School of Medicine has a small clinic inside providing care to faculty.

- History
- As the student population grew, a large facility was needed to meet student health needs. A new tile-roofed structure with the medical emblem over the doorway was constructed ca. 1929. The building blends in well with other early campus buildings with the spanish motif architecture. Additions to the rear of the building are being made.
