During World War II, the United States government conducted experiments at Tuskegee University

to study the effects of treated and untreated sexually transmitted diseases. The experiments

went on for years and the local people used in the experiments suffered greatly.

The Federal Health and Human Resources Department set aside funds to establish a center at

Tuskegee University to bring unsafe research practices to the forefront. The National Center

for Bioethics was established and the John Andrews Student Health Center and Classroom

complex was chosen for renovation and restoration. The local hospital was located in the

complex for seventy-seven years before closing in 1987. The complex is being completed

in five phases. The end uses will be museum space, archives, classrooms, offices, student health

care, and the National Center for Bioethics. All related infrastructure and site work for fifteen acres

including three parking areas is included.
