Facilities

SUNY Downstate Medical CenterThe Health Science Education Building (HSEB) opened in 1992. The building houses classrooms, laboratories, a 500-seat auditorium, and the medical library. The Library occupies three floors and is one of the largest medical libraries in the United States. The nucleus of the holding was formed when the Academy of Medicine of Brooklyn and SUNY Downstate combined in the 1960’s, forming what is today known as the Medical Research Library of Brooklyn. Reference staff is available to provide consultation and help in using the Bibliographic Retrieval Services’ 150 databases. The library’s expanded Learning Resources Center is equipped with computers in single carrel and group configurations. All machines are networked to data lines, a capability that provides support for the computer based and computer assisted programs. Additional features include video-cassettes, slides, audio-cassettes and multimedia.

Complementing the academic facilities is a campus environment, which includes two Residence Halls with apartment-style accommodations and a Student Center with recreational facilities and extracurricular programming of events.
