Barry University recently broke ground on the long anticipated Center for Community Health and Minority Medicine. Once complete, the Center will house the newly formed Division of Medicine, including the Schools of Graduate Medical Sciences and Podiatric Medicine. The School of Nursing will also utilize research and classroom space in the new facilities. It is hoped that students and faculty will be utilizing the facilities contained in Phase I by the fall of 2008.
