Introducing the Cal Wenzel Precision Health Building
The Teaching Research and Wellness building receives a new name.
A new name
A new name for the Teaching, Research and Wellness Building marks a new era for precision health at the Cumming School of Medicine and on UCalgary’s Foothills Campus. Thanks to more than $20 million in support from the Cal Wenzel and the Cal Wenzel Family Foundation, we are furthering our precision health mandate – within these walls and around the world – steadfast in our pursuit of the right treatment for the right patient at the right time.
Renaming takes time
Changing all building signage, website and letterhead to the Cal Wenzel Precision Health Building takes time.
The University of Calgary is working with our mailroom, and partnering with the city and AHS, to make this transition as smooth as possible.
Please find additional information beneath in the FAQs.

The majority of directional signage will be completed over the Summer and into Fall 2022.
