The College of Public Health has facilities at several different University of Iowa buildings in Iowa City and Coralville. Most events welcoming visitors are held at the College of Public Health Building on the University of Iowa’s main campus.
The College of Public Health Building
Walking
The College of Public Health Building is situated on a hill overlooking Highway 6 and Riverside Drive, next to the University of Iowa Arts Campus. A pedestrian bridge connects the building with the College of Medicine campus over Highway 6, and the pedestrian bridge over the Iowa River at the Iowa Memorial Union connects the building to the east side of campus.
