The two-story addition to the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy building provides a new identity and front door for the School, transforming its presence on the Busch campus.
The project supports the goals of the School of Pharmacy to be a leader in pharmacy education. The addition provides facilities that support the latest technologies and practices of the pharmacy industry and a welcoming, collaborative environment for its students. The first floor allows for views into the new community practice suite, lecture halls, and light-filled Commons that links the existing building to the addition and serves as a social hub. The second floor, which opens to the Commons, features a clinical skills/exam room suite and simulation suite, classrooms, a mock admixture room for training students in preparing sterile intravenous medications, break-out and collaboration spaces, and the administrative suite.
