Summer 2006 - Purdue College of Pharmacy - Purdue University

The CVS/pharmacy
Practice Laboratory
Demolition of the original Pharmacy Practice Laboratory located in the basement of the Heine Pharmacy
Building began during Finals Week in the Spring 2006 semester, and construction of the new laboratory
has been in progress throughout the summer. The new facility will feature cutting-edge technology, modular
work stations, and noticeably larger space with counseling rooms and offices extending on either side.
The original laboratory was designed and built when a Bachelor in
Science was the required degree for the profession. Since then, the
six-year PharmD program has become the required degree with an
emphasis on clinical education. Because of its design, the laboratory
did not provide the optimal learning environment. By renovating the
space, the School of Pharmacy is addressing the needs of our students
as well as their future employers and patients.
Renovations will be completed at the end of the summer, and the
new Pharmacy Practice Laboratory will be ready for use at the
beginning of the Fall 2006 semester.
