With the opening of the new Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences Building at Spokane's WSU Health Sciences campus (above) in January, pharmacy students, faculty and staff no longer have to travel between Pullman and Spokane. The $78.6 million building has 125,000 square feet — room for up to 24 researchers, as well as multiple anatomy and pharmacy teaching labs, student study areas, offices and a 150-seat auditorium.
