The Anne and Mike Armstrong Medical Education Building

In October 2005, C. Michael Armstrong, chairman of The Johns Hopkins Medicine Board of Trustees, made his most generous contribution to date: a $20 million pledge to the School of Medicine for a new medical education building on the East Baltimore campus.

The four-story building, which is located between the Outpatient Center and the Cooley Center, houses state-of-the-art medical educational facilities, including an anatomy lab. The dedication of the building was held Saturday, October 24, 2009. View photos from the dedication.

David Nichols, vice dean for education at the School of Medicine, said the need for the new building is "extraordinary" as the changes in medical education and technology have been revolutionary since the last academic building, the Preclinical Teaching Building, was constructed.

"The design of the new building comes at the same time we are designing a new medical curriculum," says Nichols. "The new building will augment the opportunity of our faculty to teach 21st century medicine. One of the goals of any medical education building is to bring faculty from all disciplines together in a space where a fertile exchange of ideas can occur outside the classroom — and that will be our intent with this new facility."
