The Classroom Wing, Phase 2 of the Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Center, is nearing the finish line with final inspections scheduled for May 2023 and a move-in date of mid-July.  The renovation of Hamilton Hall, Phase 3, is scheduled to open in January 2024. The Anatomy Wing, Phase 1, opened in January 2022. The $155.9 million project includes a 120,000-square foot renovation of Hamilton Hall and construction of over a 100,000-square-feet of new space.

Construction progress includes:

  • Finishing drywall on all levels of Phase 2
  • Installation of terrazzo floors on Phase 2
  • Mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) rough-in continues on both Phases
  • Hanging ceiling grid and installing tile in Phase 2
  • Framing of interior walls on Phase 3
  • Steel & roof deck installation for Forum addition to Phase 3
  • Replacing windows and tuckpointing brick on the east face of Starling Loving

The project will provide upgraded and flexible facilities to create a collaborative campus for interprofessional education throughout the Health Sciences. Read more on the College of Medicine website.
