Imagine a medical student walking into a three-dimensional, virtual model of the human brain to study—in real time—its electrochemical circuits enlarged millions of times. Envision that same student practicing microsurgical techniques on computerized mannequins dozens of times before operating on a real patient. These and other extraordinary possibilities will be realized in The Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge.

The Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge will feature the most advanced teaching technologies, many of them initiated at Stanford and refined through its close association with Silicon Valley. These technologies along the careful design of the spaces within the Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge will foster collaborations not only between medical students and faculty but among academic departments across the Stanford campus.
