FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas board of trustees on Friday approved a $15 million project to add clinical components to "shell space" on three floors of the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute.
"This is very important to us, especially as we're recruiting a new cancer center director," Bill Bowes, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences senior vice chancellor for finance and administration and chief financial officer, told trustees on Thursday.
The project is to be paid with a mix of donations and UAMS operating funds.
Dr. Peter Emanuel left the cancer center director position in July.
