In May 2009, the Board of Trustees approved plans for the School of Medicine to construct a new Learning Center at the center of Duke’s medical campus. The Learning Center will be the first large-scale medical education building constructed at Duke since the Davison building in 1930. The facility will allow medical students to engage in the latest hands-on training and medical education techniques, which tend to emphasize simulated exercises more so than working on actual patients.
