What's New at the Archives:

√ Acheson Hall renamed Kapoor Hall

In April 2008 Acheson Hall was renamed Kapoor Hall after noted Pharmacy alumnus, John N. Kapoor. The new facilities in Kapoor Hall will be new home for the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences and include associated research and teaching laboratories, vivarium, classrooms, a working hospital pharmacy, pharmacological care clinic, and office spaces. The renovation is expected to cost $65 million and to be completed by August 2011.
