Walking Path brings together Design and Physical Therapy studentsBy Gina Ehrhard, CHS Intern Students from two very distinct disciplines – architecture and physical therapy – recently joined forces to promote art and health on the campus of the University of Kentucky. The two groups worked together to create an artistic and functional walking path in the Charles T. Wethington Jr. Building, which houses the College of Health Sciences and research space. "The walking path project benefited the students because they were able to see how other disciplines work," said Deborah Kelly, faculty member from the College of Health Sciences Physical Therapy Division. "I really feel that we connected the medical campus to the main campus."
