LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 4, 2021) The design phase for the construction of a new University of Kentucky College of Medicine building was approved Tuesday by the UK Board of Trustees.
As part of the college’s planned growth strategy, a new building will establish a world-class education facility that will become the hub of medical education in Kentucky and beyond, said UK College of Medicine Dean Robert DiPaola.
The project is planned to include approximately 380,000 square feet for classrooms, simulation suites, conference rooms as well as office and support space for the College of Medicine and other health care colleges.
