History

The Pittsburgh College of Pharmacy was founded in 1878 to provide scientific knowledge to area druggists and apothecaries. The College erected a building on Pride Street in the Bluff neighborhood of Pittsburgh and was active there from 1895 to 1958. In 1896 the College affiliated with the Western University of Pennsylvania, which would be renamed the University of Pittsburgh in 1908, becoming the school's Department of Pharmacy. As the College grew it merged with Scio College of Pharmacy in Scio, Ohio, in 1908, further increasing its enrollment and adopting the Scio College alumni.

In 1948 the Pittsburgh College of Pharmacy formally merged with the University of Pittsburgh, making the new School of Pharmacy the oldest of the University's health science schools. The School of Pharmacy soon moved to Oakland to join the rest of the University of Pittsburgh campus, occupying space in Scaife Hall in 1956 before moving to Salk Hall in 1967.

In 1984 a University-wide restructuring plan threatened to close the School of Pharmacy, distributing its faculty and programs to the Medical and Nursing Schools. Randy Juhl became Dean of the School of Pharmacy in 1986 and, under his leadership, the School proved itself to be a valuable part of the University with a more streamlined program and expanded research support, particularly from the National Institutes of Health.
