ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis College of Pharmacy has opened its new $50 million recreation and student center. The 193,000-square-foot building marks the end of a two-phase construction project that has added more than 400,000 square feet of space to the campus. Features of the new building include a 10,000-square-foot recreation center, a 350-seat dining hall and a 220-bed residence hall for first- and second-year students. The additional residence hall will double the amount of living space on campus.
The building will also house the college’s intercollegiate athletic programs, giving student athletes access to a 1,100-seat competition gymnasium and training facilities. The building also features a recreation gymnasium, a 200-meter track, meeting rooms and a student center with student support offices. St. Louis-based Forum Studio designed the building. Paric Corp. managed the project construction.
