JOPLIN, Mo. — A former hospital built for temporary use after a 2011 tornado in Joplin is being transformed into a new campus for the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences.
The original building was donated to the school for use as a medical school by Mercy Hospital, The Joplin Globe (http://bit.ly/2amxBm6 ) reported. It consisted of a series of pre-manufactured pods that were shipped to Joplin and assembled on site.
