The addition construction is part of a multi-phase project that will completely reimagine the UF College of Dentistry building in Gainesville, funded by a historic investment from the State of Florida. Once completed, the project will add over 100,000 square feet of modernized teaching, research and patient care space — elevating the experience for students, residents, faculty, staff and patients at Florida’s only public dental school.
