at the University of British Columbia

The Medical Student & Alumni Centre was built through a cooperative effort of students, alumni and faculty in 1990. It was enlarged in 1996 and again in 2002. This is a social and recreational facility dedicated to the enjoyment of students, residents, alumni and faculty.

The building contains two meeting halls, a gym, a billiards room with full-sized table, photos of all graduating classes, two pianos, a fireplace, a dance floor, and a bar with brass foot rail. There are lockers for 300 students, computer facilities and a full kitchen. The centre has wireless internet and is videoconference capable for access to the provincially-distributed UBC Medicine teaching sites.

It is available for use by all UBC medical students, residents, and first and second year students from the Faculty of Dentistry. Access to the centre for reunions, meetings and receptions is available to UBC Faculty of Medicine students, residents, alumni, faculty, clinical faculty, and departments.

The Medical Student & Alumni Centre is located on the corner of 12th Avenue and Heather Street, near Vancouver General Hospital.
