The $250,000 slated for pharmacy scholarships for minority students will be distributed in $50,000 increments annually, beginning in the fall of 2007.
ISU will apply the $5 million gift toward the purchase of approximately102,000 square feet of the former Jabil Circuit building, owned by the Meridian School District and the home of the district's new administrative offices. ISU intends to renovate its portion of the building and move its Treasure Valley-based health-science programs to the site, beginning in fall 2008. The section, which will house pharmacy, will be named in honor of L.S. "Sam" Skaggs, according to university officials.
On April 19, the Idaho State Board of Education granted ISU permission to proceed with the purchase of the building.
ISU currently spends approximately $1 million a year on leases covering 55,000 square feet of classroom, office and instructional space in the Treasure Valley - including about 50,000 square feet at the main ISU-Boise complex at 12301 W. Explorer Drive.
Consolidating programs under one roof will allow ISU to apply the leasing fees toward the purchase and renovation of the former Jabil building, said Kenneth Prolo, ISU vice president for financial services.
