In 1959, the School of Pharmacy moved into its current location, Beard Hall, named for John Grover Beard,
dean of the School from 1930-1946. Currently, Beard Hall is undergoing a $6 million dollar renovation, scheduled for completion in late 2006.

In 2002, the Banks D. Kerr Hall annex was opened, doubling the space of the school and providing a modern research wing and outstanding new teaching facilities. A "building inside a building" shared instrument facility houses nuclear magnetic resonance and advanced microscope equipment.

In early 2005, the School of Pharmacy and the School of Medicine broke ground on a new research facility. The Genetic Medicine Building, scheduled for completion in 2008, will be located off Mason Farm Road, just east of the Environmental Protection Agency building. School of Pharmacy researchers will occupy approximately 75,000 square feet of laboratory space on the first and second floor, allowing them to work closely with their colleagues in Medicine and giving Pharmacy a strong presence in the heart of Carolina’s health sciences campus.
