Somewhat unrelated but i was on campus last Sunday with my daughter for a college visit  (doing what  i can to get another to join the club)and it has really changed a lot. Beautiful campus..kids i spoke to loved it...i was telling them they need to attend basketball games

Agree Simms and Vickroy one of the things that gives it a better campus feel is Rooney although I am still hoping that someday we outgrow it! Bring your daughter to the homecoming game this year Oct 5th for a great campus experience! Thanks for sharing your post everyone and Go Dukes and all versions of the D!

About 20 years ago, Duquesne was looking into starting a medical school.  It was actually in the original school charter to do so from 1911.

At the same time, Mercy Hospital was deciding whether to fold or join WPMC. 

Dr. Murray decided against the risk. 

There should be a Duquesne Mercy Medical Center aaa part of The Allegheny Health System to anchor this area.  It would have increased Duquesne reputation, alumni fundraising with some well off docs and would have changed the University footprint for the better.

They may decide to launch a medical school but they lost the chance to merge it with Mercy Hospital right next door.
