Helping create modern classrooms and study spaces for Ohio State pharmacy students
The Project
The College of Pharmacy has been a top-ranked pharmacy program for more than 20 years.
We’ve remained a leader in pharmacy education by consistently advancing our teaching practices to include modern pedagogy that prepares students to advance the pharmacy profession and patient-centered care across Ohio and around the globe.
This project will allow us to create a state-of-the-art student center that revolutionizes how students learn, meet and work together in our facilities.
These spaces are vital for the college’s Inquire, Innovate, Involve (I3) curriculum which emphasizes small group work and active-learning teaching methods.
The college will renovate the former Pharmacy Library in the Riffe Building to create two 150-seat active learning classrooms overlooking Ohio Stadium and the Medical Center. These renovations will also create student-focused spaces including a new student lounge, individual study spaces and small group meeting rooms.
The new space will provide a modern environment for student learning, improving accessibility and creating more opportunities for technology usage in the classrooms. Students will also have small group meeting spaces that will provide an environment conducive for collaboration.
