Students, faculty, and staff of the School of Pharmacy welcomed guests to their new home in the modernized Shryock Hall during an open house January 22. Previously spread across campus in three buildings, the school consolidated its administrative and department of pharmacotherapy and outcomes science into the renovated Shryock in time for fall quarter.
Plans for an updated Shryock Hall began in the winter of 2011 with an architectural evaluation and design, the goal of which was to preserve the historical appearance of both exterior and interior features while upgrading to meet current needs, according to dean Billy Hughes, PhD.
“The remodeled building exceeded our expectations,” Dr. Hughes reports. “Additionally, having most faculty, staff, and students in one building has created an atmosphere ideal for learning and collaboration.
“We are thrilled to be located in the center of campus,” he concludes.
Some of the amenities at Shryock Hall include a large amphitheater, expanded room for the division of experiential education, the CVS Student Lounge, the Walgreens Pharmacy Laboratory, and a student collaboration center.
