            Constructed as a public works project in 1939, the new Health Service Building was more than three times the size of the original.[52]   Designed by L. J. Sarvis of Battle Creek, the building cost $572,557.07 with about 40% of the funding coming from the government.[52]

            The Health Service Building was constructed on Fletcher Street, across from the Michigan League.  Its design is very similar to the neighboring Kellogg Institute.  Both are of red brick and stone and are four floors.  The front entrance has glass and iron doors made to form a decorative grillwork.[52] 

            At the time the building was occupied, it had a sixty bed infirmary on the third floor, a surgery unit and offices on the second floor.  The rest of the building was mostly service and staff rooms, individual patient and resident physician rooms, and laboratories.[52]

            The building is still home to the University Health Service today.
