The University of Kentucky in Lexington, Kentucky is home to many notable structures, including three high-rises. By floor count and height above ground level, the tallest buildings are the 23-story (Kirwan Tower ) and (Blanding Tower ), part of the Kirwan-Blanding Residence Hall complex. The 18-floor (Patterson Office Tower ) sits on one of the highest points of the university, and so its top reaches a higher altitude. All three high-rises were built in the mid-1960s. ==New developments== Recently constructed is a (new parking structure ) for the Albert B. Chandler Hospital at South Limestone between Conn Terrace Transcript Avenue. The 1,600 space garage will be connected to the lobby of the new patient care facility via a skyway. The existing parking garage for the hospital has since been demolished to make way for the new patient care facility. In the summer of 2010, Keeneland Hall, the first co-ed dormitory in the state, was named a state historic site by the Kentucky State Historical Society. This designation did not prevent it from being torn down in 2014 to make way for the new Limestone Park dormitory development. In the future, a new medical campus for the University of Kentucky will be constructed west of South Limestone. The 20-year, $2.5 billion plan is projected to "accelerate growth in research and health education" and will include additional research structures, a new shared Health Sciences Learning Center, and new structures for the College of Medicine, College of Dentistry, College of Nursing, College of Health Sciences, and College of Public Health.〔"UK announces design for new hospital." 19 October 2006.
