Belmont begins work on pharmacy school
Belmont University broke ground Tuesday on a permanent home for the Belmont School of Pharmacy.
The $30 million building will provide a consolidation of all the university’s health science studies: pharmacy, nursing, social work, occupational therapy and physical therapy.
“Establishing a permanent, state-of-the-art facility for our school of pharmacy represents another significant step for Belmont University in addressing a serious health care provider shortage in this country, especially as it relates to pharmacists and nurses,” Belmont President Bob Fisher says in a statement one hour cash loan.
The 90,000-square-foot building will contain laboratories for student and faculty research and a licensed, state-of-the-art pharmacy. The building will also include a four-level underground parking garage to provide additional spaces for Belmont’s growing student body.
The architect for the project is Nashville-based Earl Swensson Associates. R.C. Mathews, another Nashville-based firm, is the contractor.
