LSU Health New Orleans has broken ground on a $100 million renovation of its School of Dentistry campus.
As part of the project, the university will upgrade clinical areas and faculty workplaces, as well as create technology-equipped classrooms and improve accessibility across the campus, according to a news release.
Construction kicked off July 15 with a ceremonial wall demolition attended by university leaders and elected officials.
Nearly 80% of Louisiana’s dental professionals were trained at the school, which has operated for more than five decades and is the only dental school in the state.
