Academic Expansion Initiative
Fostering Collaborative Learning & Technology
In FY16 Morehouse School of Medicine announced the expansion of its academic facilities – new
and renovated state of the art medical and graduate educational facilities that reflect our standard on
how students should be taught in the 21 century. It is a quest propelled by planned growth in class
st
size, a bold vision for leading the creation and advancement of health equity, and the continuing
pursuit of Knowledge, Wisdom, Excellence, Wisdom, Service, Integrity, and Innovation. There are
four phases to the Academic Expansion Initiative:
l Phase I (A) Pavilion Addition
l Phase I (B) Hugh M. Gloster Building 1st & 2nd Floor Renovation
l Phase II Addition to the Medical Education Building
l Phase III Third Floor Renovation of the Hugh M. Gloster Building
l Phase IV Third Floor Renovation of the Medical Education Building
It is essential that our researchers, faculty, and students have state-of-the-art facilities that effectively
integrate technology and foster collaborative learning, inspiring higher levels of student achieve-
ment. We envision the expansion of our academic center as ushering in a new era for Morehouse
School of Medicine, an era of hope leading to more equitable health.
Groundbreaking on the Billye Suber Aaron Pavilion began in FY16 and will be completed in Spring
2017. Learn more on page 28.
