Renovations to the D South clinic for predoctoral students began last month as outdated facilities were demolished to make way for new ones.

Eighty operatories, dating back to RSDM’s opening in the 1970s, will be replaced and a new dispensary will be added, along with new radiography resources. The clinic will maintain the same footprint but will be outfitted with new furniture, equipment and ceilings and floors. The intake area will also be overhauled.

The first wave of demolition began in early November and is scheduled to be completed in February. The final phase is slated to be finished before students return late summer.
