A new era began in 2013 at
the University of Kentucky —
an era in which an unprecedented public-private partnership resulted in hundreds
of millions of dollars of investment in high-tech living
and learning spaces that will
bolster student success
throughout the institution.
Central Hall I and II are

In October 2010, Bill Clinton
spoke from the steps of the University of Kentucky Main Building to a crowd that was estimated
by university officials to be up to
5,000 individuals. The former U.S.
president visited the campus to
make an appearance for a Kentucky candidate running for the
U.S. Senate election.

The opening of the UK Albert B. Chandler
Hospital Pavilion A marked a historic
milestone in achieving UK HealthCare’s
mission of meeting the health care needs
of Kentucky and beyond. The new centerpiece of UK Chandler Hospital bridges the
art and science of medicine, assuring
Kentuckians access to the very best
advanced subspecialty care, close to
home. Opened in May 2011, a concourse
connects to a parking garage across the
street to accommodate patients and
visitors to the facility. In February 2015,
UK HealthCare received approval to
add 120 patient beds to bring the total
capacity to 945 beds.
