Concordia University Wisconsin, Mequon, held a groundbreaking ceremony on May 14 to celebrate the start of construction on its 57,000- square-foot School of Pharmacy building. Milwaukee-based CG Schmidt, Inc., will begin construction on the $12 million project, which is expected to be completed before the fall of 2011 semester. Students in the pharmacy program will begin taking classes this August. The new School of Pharmacy will be the second Pharmacy School in Wisconsin, next to UW-Madison. A recent study, prepared by the Metropolitain Milwaukee Association of Commerce, found that the economic impact to the area from the school will exceed $9 million per year.
