Stanford University, Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge
As countries experience a shortage of healthcare professionals, medical training becomes ever more critical. Home to one of the nation’s largest simulation labs, the Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge at Stanford University unites cutting-edge technology and modern education to train the next generation of clinicians in a healthier, student-focused environment.
Recognizing the critical importance of health to learning and engagement, Stanford’s School of Medicine sought to create a technologically advanced medical education environment that prioritizes the well-being of students. Reversing the traditional hierarchy, the building’s entire top floor is dedicated to students and anchored by a fitness center, while administration is located one floor below to allow for greater accessibility.
Features
Situated at the crossroads between the Science and Engineering quad and Medical Center, the Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge serves as a nexus between these programs and anchors the Academic Walk around which the medical school will grow.
