Project Description : The Biological Sciences/Pharmaceutical Complex, was authorized by the 2005 General Assembly and will construct a 281,000 gross square foot facility that includes some "shell space" to allow for the growing research needs.This "shell space" will be fitted out for research laboratories at a later date as university funds and/or grant dollars become available.This new building will provide the college with a state-of-the-art facility that will also allow the college to expand enrollment to address the shortage of pharmacists in Kentucky.The College of Pharmacy will relocate to this new facility and vacate their existing space. In addition to the current Pharmacy Building, college faculty members are housed in 10 buildings on and off campus.Consolidation of the research and teaching expertise of the eighth ranked College of Pharmacy in the U.S. will further strengthen the instruction of students and research collaboration among faculty.The project is expected to be complete by December 2009. |
