Washington State University students experiencing respiratory symptoms are being examined and treated in a new Respiratory Care Center operated by Cougar Health Services in Bustad Hall.
The center stems from the University’s need for specially designed spaces to examine people with potential COVID-19 symptoms. Because of the risk of airborne transmission of COVID, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that providers see people with respiratory symptoms in rooms with enhanced ventilatory capabilities. CHS Executive Director Joel Schwartzkopf said the Washington Building, where CHS is located, was not designed for something as complex as COVID-19.

Tulane’s beautiful, tree-lined campus will feel like home in no time. Our students can choose to live in residential colleges with people who share their interests, or opt for a more traditional dorm experience. Residence halls and libraries offer quiet places to study but there are many other cozy spots to study or even take a nap between classes.
With over 25 dining locations on campus, students are never far from a wide range of meals and snacks. A monthly farmer’s market, food trucks and a late night diner are some of the most popular offerings.
