It has been one of the most high-profile proposals to materialize from the merging of the Medical University of Ohio and The University of Toledo. Now the proposal is becoming a reality.
The architect for what will one day be home for the College of Pharmacy was selected Sept. 21.
Toledo-based Poggemeyer Design Group will lead the project. Poggemeyer has worked on such local and award-winning projects as the Maumee Indoor Theatre and the Wood County District Public Library. The firm also has worked on several projects on the Health Science Campus, including the Inpatient Physical Rehabilitation Center and the University Medical Center lobby renovation.
“We were really excited by what Poggemeyer was able to bring to the table,” said Charles Lehnert, associate vice president for facilities and construction. “Now we’re ready to move forward rapidly on a structure that will serve as a permanent, brick-and-mortar symbol of the new University of Toledo.”
“The excitement surrounding this project is really growing in the College of Pharmacy,” said Dr. Wayne Hoss, executive associate dean in the College of Pharmacy and member of the selection committee. “I believe Poggemeyer will help us create a top-notch facility for our students and faculty to call home.”
The first conceptual drawing was made available for review at the Board of Trustees meeting Sept. 13.
The $15 million to $20 million project is expected to be completed fall 2009.
