After five years of renting space for COMD's offices, labs, student areas, and USC Speech and Hearing Research Center on the corner of Lady/Sumter, we moved back to the USC campus in June, 2019. Our move provides an additional, much-needed 4,000 square feet of clinical and research space while putting an end to expensive annual rental fees. It also brings all of our faculty together in the same space, the Close-Hipp building.
The Center remains a part of the department, but we renamed it the Montgomery Speech, Language, and Hearing Clinic in honor of Dr. Al (current research professor) and Mrs. Marcia (retired clinical instructor) Montgomery, who made this move possible with their lead
gift. Please visit our Giving page for more information about naming opportunities and other ways in which you
can give to or become involved with the Department and the Montgomery Clinic.
As of June, 2019, the department will have a new forever home at the Close-Hipp building on the USC campus. With this move, the Center will be renamed the Montgomery Speech, Hearing, and Language Clinic.
After decades of moving between buildings on and off campus, the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders finally has a forever home at the Close-Hipp Building. Members and friends of the department celebrated the completion of the newly renovated space.
