Following the migration of the School of Pharmacy to South
Campus, space will be renovated to meet growing demands in basic
sciences.
Now that the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences has
moved to its new home in John and Editha Kapoor Hall on South
Campus, UB is preparing for a major renovation of the
Cooke-Hochstetter complex. Renovation of the vacated space will
allow for consolidation of the departments of Biological Sciences
and Geology in Cooke and Hochstetter Halls, and the Department of
Chemistry in the Natural Sciences Complex. The scope of work will
be inclusive, with new heating, cooling and ventilation, lighting
and electrical, architecture and finishes, to provide
state-of-the-art laboratories, classrooms and “learning
landscape” spaces. The renovation will also provide a home
for the new major in environmental
geosciences.
