Postle Hall
Postle Hall will serve as the College of Dentistry’s new facility and will feature a substantial replacement of existing clinic spaces and simulation laboratory instructional facilities. There will be significant renovation of spaces vacated in the pre-existing Postle Hall structure to accommodate advanced technology classrooms and student learning spaces. The $95 million project began in the summer of 2018 and is expected to be completed in the fall of 2020, adding 130,000 square feet. This new facility will enable the College of Dentistry to increase the number of dental students admitted each year by 10%.
