The School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences has a
state-of-the-art new home after the gut-renovation of the old
chemistry building.
The School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences' new home
(completed in the summer of 2012) is named in honor of alumnus
John N. Kapoor (and his late wife). Through the John
and Editha Kapoor Charitable Foundation, he has generously
supported UB Pharmacy, inspiring several other major donations
in support of the new state-of-the-art facility that bears his
name.
The 160,000-square foot facility is now home to the School of
Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, previously located in
Cooke-Hochstetter Hall on the North Campus. The existing building
was stripped down to its original concrete structural frame. The
new building incorporates many green-design features, such as
maximizing natural daylight (75 percent of all space in the
building will receive natural light) and has achieved a LEED silver
rating. The building offers a state-of-the-art Pharmaceutical Care
and Teaching Center and has improved linkages between the School of
Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and the School of Pharmacy and
Pharmaceutical Sciences.
