The building will house dedicated space for student dental clinics, university dentists and the school’s advanced education in general dentistry graduate program. 

Currently, dental students are assigned to three clinics across two separate floors. The new building will provide a larger clinical space for all predoctoral students. 

The project is part of a $40 million legislative appropriation, the report said.
