Raymond L. Fitz Hall
Raymond L. Fitz Hall houses the majority of the faculty & staff for the UD School of Education and Health Sciences. The building is named for Brother Raymond L. Fitz, S.M., the 17th (and longest-serving) president in UD's history (1979-2002). Watch: How Bro. Ray impacted the UD & Dayton communities >>
Fitz Hall is located on the corner of Brown Street and Caldwell Street, just across the street from the main part of the UD campus. A valid UD parking permit (faculty, staff & students) or a UD visitor parking pass is required in order to park in the lots adjacent to Fitz Hall. UD Parking Services info >>
Outside the main entrance to Fitz Hall is a statue called "Christ the Teacher," which was installed in March 2016. It was designed by Joseph Aspell, a 1968 alumnus. Aspell has three other statues on the University of Dayton campus: Mary, William Joseph Chaminade, and Joseph carrying a young Jesus.
On-campus dining facility, offering a variety of specialty soups, salads, sandwiches and wraps.
This resource center/library lends resources to students of all majors within the School of Education and Health Sciences.
Health & Sport Science students use a variety of equipment, including a metabolic cart, BOD POD, treadmills and cycle ergometers, to conduct fitness testing and assessment in the areas of body composition, submaximal and maximal aerobic testing, muscular strength & endurance, and flexibility. Laboratory courses use this space to teach and practice assessment techniques and understand the implications of training and disease on overall health and fitness.
Students in the physical therapy doctoral program actively dissect a full human donor through the lab portion of their advanced anatomy coursework. In conjunction with the graduate-level dissection, undergraduate students in health & sport science have the opportunity to observe real anatomical structures in the lab and gain the skills, knowledge and experience to prepare them for their future education and professional opportunities.
Learning in this space allows students from across all health sciences programs to increase their understanding and appreciation for human structure, how we can analyze the structural consequences of disease and dysfunction, and how we can establish new studies based on anatomical findings.
Health & Sport Science students experience hands-on learning through the use of free-weights, BOSU, Swiss and medicine balls, battle ropes, functional training equipment, a power rack, cycle ergometers and a treadmill. By applying their knowledge of personal training, exercise physiology, and strength and conditioning, students can enhance their practical skills. Upper-level courses use the equipment in this lab to complete research projects.
Health & Sport Science students are able to collect dynamic research data alongside faculty mentors, thanks to a gift from alumni Dave & Norma McCarthy. Student research helps drive knowledge forward, and the state-of-the-art equipment available in this lab (including an Anatomage Table) helps enhance learning experiences by allowing for more in-depth, scientific exploration.
This state-of-the-art space is primarily used by Doctor of Physical Therapy students.
Dietetics students benefit from this state-of-the-art learning kitchen, made possible by ProduceOne and its owners, Gary & Erv Pavlofsky. The lab is made up of four cooking stations which include an oven, microwave, stand mixer, fridge, sink, cookware and food prep tools. Tables and chairs in the center of the lab offer a space for classroom instruction. The lab is also home to a culinary medicine program collaborative between UD and Grandview Hospital.
This space is primarily used by teacher education students for instruction related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
