Named in honor of alumnus Dr. W. Baxter Perkinson, the $20 million, 55,000 square foot addition situated
on Leigh Street will provide more classrooms, clinics, and laboratories to meet the current and
future oral health needs of Virginians. The additional space will allow the school to educate
PhD students and generate new knowledge through research in collaboration with VCU's Massey Cancer
Center and School of Engineering. The space also permits expanded patient care and increased
enrollment in its dental and dental hygiene degree programs.
