Sure seems like there has been a lot of investment by OU lately in its OKC campus. For that matter, seems like east of 235 has been the most active development location in the entire city. Eventually we are going to need a legitimate pedestrian bridge.

Where is this going?

Right next to the existing dental school on the HSC campus.

I don't have the exact address.

Are they tearing down the building where the dental school currently sits? This appears quite different from the last renderings they had released for what was supposed to just be an addition/renovation of the current structure.

$8M for that?

No, this new structure will be supplemental to the current facility; not exactly sure of it's placement but it will be nearby.

I'm sure that includes all the furniture, fixtures and equipment.

This is a full-on dental office and teaching facility, so lots of expensive stuff inside.

I am a current 4th year dental student and we have recently been going through a large remodel of the current dental school. Construction on this project started in May 2013. This is called the legacy project. All of our clinics have been completely redone and look amazing. Although we have not heard of any news regarding this new building, it looks as if it will house the graduate programs/faculty practice. We have had several meetings regarding the legacy project. You can find more info with this link: Legacy Project (http://dentistry.ouhsc.edu/AlumniandFriends/LegacyProject.aspx)

This is very interesting. I will post if we are updated with any more information on the new building.

By the way, if you are interested in becoming a patient at the dental school, please send me a PM and I would be happy to set up a screening for you.
