Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge

Student Life: Human Component

For medical and graduate students, the frenetic pace of learning extends through the day into night. To ensure a well-rounded lifestyle, Stanford School of Medicine's Student Life offers areas that blend relaxation and rejuvenation into the learning experience. A variety of study, reflection, and social spaces emphasize balance--a vital aspect of a student's well-being.

In the new Learning and Knowledge Center, students find places to study, work, and connect with their peers, or find a quiet moment alone to reflect. A lounge and entertainment area, and a rooftop terrace create a stress-free environment to complement the study spaces. Fitness facilities let students squeeze in a workout between classes or laboratories, while a project rehearsal area provides students with a state of the art space to practice key presentations. The Med Café on the first floor serves "grab-and-go" meals during the day, and kitchen amenities for a quick bite off-hours.

With limited time at their disposal, students need an easily accessible retreat that nurtures a sense of community. This blended space puts work and play under one roof--a home away from home.  To learn more about student life in the School of Medicine please visit, http://med.stanford.edu/student_life/.
