The David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, already among the best medical schools in the nation, is getting ready to break ground on a medical education building that will change the face of the school's teaching and learning efforts.
The new five-story, 110,000 square foot Teaching and Learning Center for Health Sciences, to be built near the intersection of LeConte and Tiverton avenues, will allow the David Geffen School of Medicine to expand its educational programs and improve teaching and learning, and the facility is expected to be a boon for recruiting students, staff and faculty. Construction is scheduled to begin in September.
Funding for the $120 million project will come from the UCLA Health System reserves and philanthropic gifts. Plans call for environmentally friendly construction, and UCLA will apply for LEED certification.
