COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Pharmaceutical and chemical companies, AMPAC Fine Chemicals (AFC), Phlow and Civica will have production facilities located on a
200 acre campus in Petersburg. Technology developed at nearby Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Engineering has
enabled these companies to produce drugs and vaccines in a continuous flow. Instead of outsourcing 80% of its generic drugs, the US
will be able to produce current and future pharmaceutical compounds internally. With three colleges/universities in the Petersburg area,
companies will be able to employ graduates from any of the following:
• Virginia Commonwealth University
VCU is a public research university in Richmond, Virginia. VCU was founded
in 1838 as the medical department of Hampden-Sydney College, becom-
ing the Medical College of Virginia in 1854. In 1968, the Virginia General
Assembly merged MCV with the Richmond Professional Institute, founded in
1917, to create Virginia Commonwealth University.
• Virginia State University
Virginia State University is a historically black public land-grant university in
Ettrick, Virginia. Founded on March 6, 1882, Virginia State developed as
the United State's first fully state-supported four-year institution of higher
learning for black Americans.
