Directions to the Arnold School of Public Health
The Norman J. Arnold School of Public Health is housed in the Health Sciences
Building, which is located at 800 Sumter Street, at the corner of Sumter and
Greene Streets. The building is a brick structure, with two entrances facing
Sumter Street. As a point of reference, we are located in the same block of Sumter
