The new medical school building is an 11-story, 480,000 square foot, $150,000,000 project that will transform the Temple University School of Medicine. While Kresge Hall, the Medical Research Building and the Old Medical School Building have served the School of Medicine admirably through the years, the time has come to create a facility that will help catapult the School of Medicine into a new era of success. Features of the new building include a state-of-the-art library, eight research floors, dozens of private study and conference rooms, a clinical skills instruction wing, a new Anatomy wing with its own ampitheatre, two large auditoriums, and many flexible-use, high-tech classrooms.
The building is critical to solving current space limitations, recruiting world-class faculty researchers, and promoting an outstanding educational environment.

The availability of adequate scholarship resources directly impacts Temple’s ability to recruit and retain the very best medical students. Top students often have multiple offers from leading medical schools -- and frequently choose the school offering the most attractive financial aid package. While many students count Temple among their first choices due to our outstanding program and faculty, they sometimes enroll elsewhere simply because they receive a larger scholarship. Temple’s reputation and academic stature are only as strong as the quality of its students. Therefore, expanding and enhancing our scholarship funding will significantly impact the competitiveness and reputation of our alma mater.
Part of our plan for gaining new prominence is to recruit and retain the very best researchers, clinicians and educators. Endowed professorships and chairs are prestigious positions to hold -- and help ensure long-term stability of departments within the School of Medicine by offering significant budget relief.
We intend to dramatically increase our research funding and output during the next five years. Traditionally, much of the money for biomedical research has come from government sources such as the NIH, but private philanthropy is emerging as an important resource for supporting disease-specific research as well. Individuals, corporations, and foundations will play a major role in helping fund Temple’s research efforts as new discoveries, ideas, and initiatives are developed in Temple’s laboratories.
