| School of Medicine (Eastern) Construction Update as of June 9, 2005 WVU Eastern Division Clinical Campus The Eastern Division medical campus is designed to provide community-based education in the health sciences to third and fourth year medical students. WVU is working to improve the quality of, and access to, health care for residents of the Eastern Panhandle. The West Virginia University Board of Governors awarded a $4.79 million contract to W. Harley Miller Contractors Inc., of Martinsburg, to construct a new, two-story Eastern Division Clinical Campus. The total cost of the project is $6.4 million, including the $4.79 building construction and $382,000 in site preparation work. The remaining funds will go toward architectural design and other fees. Construction began last fall on the City Hospital campus. The 36,650 square-foot building will house a 200-seat auditorium, a 40-seat classroom, several meeting rooms, a paper-and-electronic library, a Resident Suite and a computer-based study area. A 12,500 square-foot portion of the second floor will remain unfinished "shell" space. The facility will be built on two acres of land leased from City Hospital in Martinsburg.
