Community Details

40. Community Need According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in health-related areas is projected to grow 15% from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations. There is an urgent need for more accessible healthcare services provided by a qualified workforce. Central State University aims to increase the healthcare workforce in specific areas that contribute to health disparities by providing educational credentials for individuals to enter the workforce. CSU aims to increase the healthcare workforce by granting credentials to community health workers, personal care technicians, certificates to nutritionists, phlebotomists, respiratory care, medical assistants, medical and health services managers, and baccalaureate and graduate degrees in exercise science, nursing, Health Education and Promotion, medical counseling, and social work.

41. Previous Funding: Has the requesting organization received Congressionally earmarked funding in the past? If so, please provide a brief project description, year funded, amount, and Congressional sponsor. The University received $1.75 million to renovate Emery Hall, an historic building on
the national registered list in 2010. The project preserved and restored Emery Hall on the campus of Central State
University. Emery Hall is one of two remaining historical structures on the original campus of
Wilberforce University. Constructed as a women's dormitory in 1913, the building is included in the national
historical register to preserve Emery Hall's significant place in history. The total preservation and restoration project is
estimated to cost $9,550,000 and is organized into phases to methodically progress through multiple stages to
completion as funds are identified and obtained. Phase I was completed in 2009 and included work to reclaim the
building, to abate the building, and to restore the envelope of the building to stem further deterioration and water
infiltration.
Phase II was completed in May 2010 and included work to restore of windows, doors, and masonry systems. Phase III
was completed in October 2010 and included work to restore interior structural components, stairwells, storm
windows, and construction of an elevator shaft. Funding for Phases I, II, and III, in the amount of $2.43M was
provided by matching grant funds from the U.S. Department of the Interior - National Park Service, State of Ohio
capital appropriation funds, capital campaign funds, and University funds. Phase IV restored the center wing of the
building back to service. The center wing is programmed to provide conference, meeting, seminar, office, and dining
spaces. Work includes, but is not limited to, restoration of heating and ventilation systems, electrical systems,
plumbing systems, life/safety systems, interior finishes, and code compliance components to the return the building to
