Li Ka Shing Conference Center
Stanford School of Medicine's new comprehensive Conference Center brings users of the new Learning and Knowledge Center into a space to gather and engage in dialogue. This interdisciplinary forum draws students and staff together with the community, providing technology-driven communication between groups large or small.
A Ballroom with auditorium-style seating is at the core of the Conference Center, providing seminar-style seating for 310 guests and seated dining for 360 guests. The flexibility of this space also allows for varying levels of interactions and choices about types of seating including moveable seating on the flat floor and/or retractable tiered theater seating. While the theater can be segmented into three meeting rooms, each accommodating 120 people, breakout spaces allow for informal discussions for 15-30 people. All will be equipped with audio and videoconferencing devices, several high-resolution screens and monitors, and wireless capabilities.
