Students enrolled in the UNC-Chapel Hill Doctor of Pharmacy Partnership program at Elizabeth City State University officially moved into their new academic home as a new $28 million Pharmacy Complex at the ECSU campus was unveiled on September 27, 2010. The 52,500-square-foot building, whose architecture was inspired by the idea of an apothecary chest, overlooks an artificial pond and contains classrooms and labs organized around a two-story atrium. The first floor contains general science labs, while the second floor houses the IV simulation lab, the compounding lab, a library, and community outreach facilities such as the drug information center. The third floor features three research labs for biochemistry, molecular biology, and medicinal chemistry. Other classrooms, meeting rooms, and offices are distributed throughout the building to create a more collaborative environment for students, faculty, and staff. The complex also hosts the university's Drug Information Center.
