Tuskegee University Expands College of Veterinary Medicine

Tuskegee University broke ground in September of 2025 on an expansion to the College of Veterinary Medicine in Tuskegee, Ala. Designed by Flad Architects, the pioneering development will greatly expand the institution’s clinical capabilities and consolidate critical support services to a single site, increasing efficiency and ensuring the delivery of the highest level of care. A 57,000-sf small animal teaching hospital will provide leading-edge spaces for advanced diagnosis and specialty treatment, such as modern imaging suites, operating rooms, and intensive care units. 

Offering 104,000 sf in total, the vibrant complex will also include a new preclinical instruction building to elevate training opportunities for future veterinarians. These dynamic structures will facilitate expanding class sizes and greater caseloads, as well as the addition of new researchers, teaching faculty, and administrative staff. 

Pylon Building Group, a subsidiary of Brasfield & Gorrie, is acting as general contractor. Goodwyn Mills Cawood is the civil engineer and Newcomb & Boyd is the MEP and fire engineer. Completion is anticipated by fall of 2027.
