PRINCESS ANNE – Construction of a new building for UMES’ School of Pharmacy and Health Professions is slated to begin this fall, triggered by a $10 million allocation from the 2019 Maryland General Assembly.
The project enables the university to consolidate its pharmacy programs into a single building and fulfill a long-standing goal tied to accreditation. Pharmacy classes, laboratories and faculty offices currently are spread among six buildings.
A three-story structure will be built on the east side of campus across the street from the Engineering and Aviation Science Complex on property where a sprawling greenhouse complex once stood. A November 2011 fire destroyed that structure, and demolition got underway shortly after the legislature approved the 2019-20 capital expenditures budget.
Lawmakers also committed to provide UMES additional money for the project when they return to Annapolis next year and in 2021, helping ensure that funding stays on track. The new building’s projected price tag is nearly $90 million, which includes planning and equipment.

With all the money they pay employees how can they afford it?? Oh that's right TAXPAYERS!!
Did they ever figure out how that fire started? Those greenhouses were enormous and state-of-the-art.
was anyone ever arrested in that stabbing incident?
I had the most unfortunate experience of having to make a delivery to UMES campus and let me tell you it was like a third world ZOO
Northwest Woodsman: I don’t think I would knowingly take a prescription to be filled by a graduate of UMES School of Pharmacy. I must admit that I am skeptical of those enrolled in programs that participate in any way with affirmative action.
I know what you mean. You ALWAYS have to go with your gut.i had a friend took his twins in for a psychical. The boy went first and the black doctor was a little rough. The boy kept making sounds because he was hurting his boy. Then came his little girl's turn. He said "doc. Before you start. If she hurt's?? YOU HURT!!
