OFFICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION Vol. 3/ÆftP. j>-
LONG RANGE PLANS FOR MED SCHOOL Expansion of medical school facilities at £te>*Jackson-EXPANSION STILL UNDER STUDY Metro Hospital Center are still in k^^lar^ng^stage,
according to President Stanford. The recent ment in the press came not from the University but as a result of an exploratory meeting between Dr. Stanford and County Manager Irving McNayr, at which Dr. Stanford requested consideration of the University’s plan as developed to date. The University preferred to withhold publicity on the plan until County officials had an opportunity to consider it since it involves construction of buildings on land owned by the County.
As Dr. Stanford explained when queried by the press Jan. 4: "The proposed plan, approved by the Board of Trustees at its December meeting, is a bold and imaginative concept. It would meet the urgent needs of the school, 1) adequate facilities at the medical center for the two-year pre-clinical program now housed at the VA Hospital in Coral Gables and 2) adequate facilities for the clinical staff and their instructional program. It also provides space for animal laboratories, a library and lecture halls. The plan has the advantage of flexibility since it could be developed from the direction of either the hospital or the medical research building and could be constructed in sections as funds become available."
Long range plans which would include additional teaching laboratories and lecture halls are still under study. No estimate of total costs has been made.
As to financing the first stage of the plan, Dr. Stanford said, "If the bill for construction of medical facilities is passed by Congress, we would hope the University of Miami would be able to qualify for government assistance. But we are also going to have to raise funds from private sources. There are no definite plans for such a campaign at the moment, but one certainly is in the offing."
Endorsement by Metro officials is essential to the plan. As Dr. Stanford said: "We are most grateful to the County Manager, the Director of the Jackson Memorial Hospital and to the County Commissioners for their willingness to give serious consideration to the proposal. We believe that the cooperation between the hospital and the medical school is mutually advantageous. Obviously, the University needs the hospital to carry on its medical educational program, and if it does not seem presumptuous of me to say so, I believe the hospital is more distinguished by virtue of its association with the medical school."
