The science programs of Union University have created a remarkable record in preparing graduates for careers of scientific achievement and service. Indeed, since 1997, every faculty-recommended health science student at Union has gained acceptance to medical school or professional graduate study. That is only possible because Union has assembled an outstanding science faculty which attracts excellent students. Yet maintaining that record of excellence is a growing challenge which requires constant improvement and bold investment.

Thanks to a generous lead gift from Dr. and Mrs. Roy L. White, the University is in the early stages of developing a 63,000 square foot, three story building on the new West Campus that will house Union’s biology, chemistry and nursing on three floors. With construction costs in excess of $200 per square foot and the expensive furnishings required to outfit research laboratories, this project presents many opportunities for significant investment that will touch the lives of future generations of students. A portion of the cost of this important new facility is still being sought.
