Campus Life
As summer wraps up, so does the construction at the newly completed Thomas and Patricia Willis Veterinary Medical Education Building — USU's cornerstone hub for its College of Veterinary Medicine.The state-of-the-art facility will provide modern classrooms, laboratories and clinical training spaces designed to support hands-on learning, research and collaboration.The building plays a critical role in addressing the growing demand for veterinarians — particularly in rural communities, where access to large-animal care remains a significant challenge. Utah's agricultural industry contributes an estimated $1.82 billion to the state's economy, underscoring the importance of expanding veterinary training within the state.With the addition of this facility and the continued growth of its four-year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program, Utah State has expanded enrollment to 80 students per graduating class, helping build a sustainable veterinary workforce for Utah and beyond.
