Tucson site for the College of Pharmacy
The health sciences center, which also includes University Medical Center and colleges of medicine, nursing and public health, is located northwest of the intersection of two main city streets, Campbell and Speedway avenues.
The College of Pharmacy is situated in the southern portion of the health sciences complex. The college has classrooms, offices and laboratories in two buildings, the College of Pharmacy building and the new Roy P. Drachman Hall. The College of Pharmacy building is also called Pharmacy-Skaggs Center and the Pharmacy wing of Drachman Hall is also called Pharmacy-Pulido Center.
The college is also expanding programs to the Phoenix Biomedical Campus. We have a small office at 445 N. 5th St. in Phoenix. For a map of the campus, click here.
