When the College of Pharmacy opened its doors in 1903, it was housed in Science Hall on North Campus (left), and consisted entirely of three rooms.

But according to H. Douglas Johnson, "the first crisis for the College came almost immediately. Science Hall was destroyed by fire on November 20, 1903. Only the foundation remained." Reduced to ruins (right), it had to be entirely rebuilt.

In June 1905, the new building opened as Terrell Hall (left), home to the College of Pharmacy for the next 35 years, until Dean Wilson declared that its single office, classroom, laboratory and stock room were no longer adequate for the growing institution.

In September 1939, the College moved into two floors of New College. According to H. Douglas Johnson, "The school's neighbors on the first floor were the University Bookstore and the Student Co-op (grill). The floors devoted to pharmacy contained a dean's office, four faculty offices with research space, three lecture rooms, a reading room, and three student laboratories. The laboratories were designated for pharmacy, pharmaceutical chemistry, and dispensing."

In January 1962, ground was broken for a new pharmacy building, this time on south campus, and the completed building opened in the winter of 1964 as the Robert C. Wilson Pharmacy Building, home to the College of Pharmacy today (left).
