"With the new administration, both internal and external campus beautification efforts were seen as a strategic necessity," said Walter Ronaghan, senior director of supporting services at Einstein. It also led to further beautification efforts The rise of the Price Center/Block Research Pavilion also led to some changes in the streets, including a new meridian that divides Morris Park, making it safer for students, staff and faculty to traverse the sprawling campus. Barland: "It not only expands the campus, but serves as a connection between all the buildings that make up Einstein." And I love the double-helix staircase."Īdded Dr. It demonstrates that they want to be taken seriously and makes me feel good about the education I am going to receive.

"When you see the building, it just shows that Einstein is continuing to put money into the school and the medical program. "The Price Center is absolutely gorgeous," said Lauren Falkoff, a first-year student during orientation exercises. New and impressive buildings were indeed built, right up until the most recent crowning achievement - the Price Center/Block Research Pavilion, a 201,000-square-foot, $220 million research building that officially opened on June 12, 2008. "Situated next to the building was a big hole in the ground that I was told was going to be a brand new medical school." Peter Barland, a member of the first graduating class, and a current faculty member. "I went for an interview in 1954, and there was a small white building that looked like a normal residence," recalled Dr. While most students have felt lucky to attend Einstein since it first opened its doors to classes on September 12, 1955, the campus has not always been its key selling point. "It makes me feel really lucky to be here." "It�s definitely going to make studying and learning that much better when you have such nice surroundings," he continued.

When the Long Island resident first came to the Bronx school last November, as one of the 7,148 hopefuls looking to be accepted into Einstein, he never expected to see such beautiful scenery around him when he returned. "I really love the campus," noted Chris Whitcomb, one of the 183 first-year students that entered the recently repainted Robbins Auditorium on Wednesday, August 19, ready to embark on a budding medical career. A new, state-of-the-art medical research building, sprouting flowerbeds, expanded green space, outdoor eating areas, and curving walkways have enhanced Einstein�s image among premier medical colleges, while creating a beautiful and welcoming campus in the heart of the Bronx.
