The move of the medical school downtown created a learning campus with the opportunity for interprofessional interaction and direct interaction with the community. Our innovative building was designed to be part of a true medical campus consisting of the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, the John R. Oishei Children’s Hospital, Buffalo General Medical Center, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Conventus medical office complex, the University at Buffalo Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences, the Clinical and Translational Research Center and the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute.
