 With help from Gov. Timothy Kaine and several members of the Virginia General Assembly, Eastern Virginia Medical School broke ground “virtually” on its new education and research building September 17.
EVMS faculty, students and staff joined community leaders and supporters of the school for the ceremony, which was the centerpiece of the annual State of the School address. The groundbreaking included images and a virtual fly-around of the new building. The General Assembly’s 2008 higher education bond package provided $59 million toward the facility’s construction and extensive renovations to Lewis Hall. The new structure will provide additional research space and will allow the school to expand its medical doctor and physician assistant programs to meet an expected demand for more medical care. |
