ACP has a long and distinguished history Founded in 1881 as the Department of Pharmacy of Union University the College was the vision of Archibald McClure President of an Albany pharmaceutical firm and his colleagues
The College shared facilities with Albany Medical College in an old schoolhouse in downtown Albany until the 1920s when the schools constructed their own buildings The College expanded that facility in 1956 and then again in 1982
In 1995 University Heights Association Inc was established to benefit the College and its academic neighbors -- Albany Law School Albany Medical College and The Sage Colleges These institutions -- each connected to a central UHA-owned 30-acre site -- had similar needs for expansion and enhanced services UHA is focused on these needs and continues to undertake initiatives to enhance the academic mission of each of the four institutions
In 2000 ACP expanded for the first time into a second building -- the Classroom Building This exciting move was undertaken following UHAs $4 million renovation of the former Christian Brothers Academy main building located on the UHA campus This facility provides academic offices and classroom space for the College and The Sage Colleges
In 2003 and again with UHA assistance ACP officially opened its cutting-edge Pharmaceutical Research Institute in the former Bender Hygienic Laboratories on Samaritan Road on the south edge of campus In 2004 the College purchased an adjoining property on Samaritan Road from the Episcopal Diocese of Albany and established South Hall a residence facility for students and home to the Colleges Offices of Admissions Financial Aid and Bursar
Last year we added a state-of-the-art student center and more plans for facility expansion are in the works including a new residence hall at the heart of our expanding campus
