North Central College

While his primary focus is on health and disease prevention, Dr. Wentz is also passionate about music, and he strongly supports music education. This passion led him to help fund the Wentz Concert Hall and Fine Arts Center at his undergraduate alma mater, North Central College in Naperville, Illinois. The concert hall was completed in 2008.

This is not the only building on campus that bears the Wentz name. In 2017, the magnificent Dr. Myron Wentz Science Center was open for classes and dedicated on October 20, 2017. This $60 million state-of-the-art facility encompasses 125,000, square feet and has 18 teaching labs, 16 research labs, 15 classrooms, an auditorium, 53 faculty offices, and 19 student social areas.

In addition, the Dr. Myron Wentz Center for Health Sciences & Engineering was dedicated on October 7, 2021. This technologically advanced facility has four floors, three of which are focused on health care occupations, allowing North Central to expand its occupational therapy, physician assistant, and physical therapy programs. The 6,000 square foot first floor of the new building houses North Central’s engineering program.
