    Renovations are complete on the third and final phase of the Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Center. Hamilton Hall Phase III includes a 120,000-square-foot renovation and will open this summer. Anatomy Phase I opened in January 2022 and Classroom Phase II opened in June 2023.

    “Seeing this project cross the finish line is exciting,” said George Rice, Facilities Design and Construction (FDC) senior project manager. “It’s a testament to the collective dedication of our team to preserve the historic features of the building while giving it a facelift that will help foster an even better learning environment for students, faculty and staff.”

    The Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Center is a $157.3 million project that, in addition to the renovation, included construction of a new building featuring flexible spaces to serve multiple disciplines including medicine, dentistry, nursing, optometry, pharmacy, public health and veterinary medicine.
