The Stanford University School of Medicine officially broke ground on the 120,000-sf Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge in Stanford, Calif., on April 25, 2008. The technology-rich five-story facility will house the medical school’s education and training programs and is designed to foster interdisciplinary team-based learning. The Li Ka Shing Center will include the Center for Immersive and Simulation-based Learning, featuring a simulated operating room, intensive care unit, and emergency room with mannequins that both bleed and breathe. The building will include a 350-seat conference center, three lecture halls, faculty offices, flexible classrooms with high-resolution display walls, and a virtual reality facility for the study of anatomy. The project architect is NBBJ. Completion is slated for spring of 2010.
