The facilities were perfect for a conference of this size on this topic. Talks were given on a stage in a large lecture-hall styled room. I presented my work on Carbon Monoxide at high pressures and temperatures in one of the poster sessions. Posterboards where we mounted our posters were placed in the the hallway side-by-side making it easy to walk poster-to-poster and ask questions to presenters. Breakfast offerings were provided in the morning and coffee throughout the day. We got some conference swag, and tours of the facilities were offered for those who wanted to partake. The cafeteria had a selection of lunch offerings so we could stay on-site for lunch if we wanted. There are also a number of restaurants near-by if you have time and want to go out for lunch.

The top floor has an outdoor eating area that allows an impressive view of the surround school and hospital. That being said unless you are a student or have business in the building the first floor and the architecture are about it.

The first floor has the two main lecture halls for the medical students as well as "med cafe"- see that entry on yelp for the full review of their menu items.

The second floor and third floor has additional space for classrooms and admin space. The second floor also has Berg hall where medicine grand rounds occurs as well as conferences and the medical student milestone events (part of white coat ceremony and the match day!)

We were at Gunn High School for a swim meet and intelligently, since it was SuperBowl Sunday being played close by in Santa Clara, they started the meet early at 8:30 with warm-up beginning at 7am. Since my son was swimming unattached from his team, I connected with the director over email to introduce myself; Coach Anderes was so gracious. We had a great meet, good to get more competition time and push forward. I hope our division expands its reach to the south because Palo Alto is as easy or easier to reach than Sebastopol, Napa and others. And this site was exceptionally welcoming and well-run with clean facilities, lots of on-deck seating and plentiful parking in their private attached lot.

It is part of a multi billion dollar effort to expand and update the campus. Lane, the building housing the medical school is not seismically sound and will have to be rebuilt. As such this is one of the first building to be finished with the goal of relocating staff. Completed recently this 4 story, 170,000 sq foot structure also has underground parking, fitness, and a cafe on site. The architecture follows a similar pattern of other new buildings with extensive blending of landscaping, glass, and geometric forms. There are elevated walkways linking the buildings that form an almost U shape. The design choices blend in nicely with the Eucalyptus grove it borders. There are tons of benches and tables to stop and take a break. In addition the co-located Cafe Arbor is an excellent choice for lunch. Its hours are limited to M-F till about 2 at this time. It is also close to tons of attractions like the Arizona Cactus Garden and the Cantor Art Museum.

Almost every "upcoming" breakthrough in technology you hear in the news has been happening in-house long before everyone knows it, and SU is one of the best channels to get a good glimpse of this kind of technology. Learn first-hand how nanotechnology is used to curtail the world's leading causes of human maladies; be challenged to think exponentially - far beyond common case studies in tackling business and real-world scenarios through Kurzweil Technologies and X Prize Foundation; learn your genetic makeup and daily fitness analytics through 23andme's and fitbit's devices, and explore better ways of turning so-called obsolescence/untapped elements of the earth or solar system into sustainable and useful energy resources. The curriculum is converged by 2 programs: Executive Program and Graduate Studies Program. Leading thinkers from over 100 countries are selected to learn and share their ideas in space, robotics, networks, bioremediation / medical technological epiphanies among many others. From thereon, they can walk away with interesting ideas that can be applied to their respective lines of expertise and knowledge worldwide. The awesome part of this program is SU philanthropically chooses leaders in developing nations to enroll, all expenses paid, to grow more and provide better solutions to their nation's growing crisis. A noticeable demographics' basic necessities are not met in economically challenged societies, and SU aims to bring these respective pioneers to provide them with the tools and knowledge to tip the scales of poverty, hunger, and access to affordable medicine.

The administration the last few years has put real effort into making the school a great place that's welcoming to everyone. Kids of all need levels are thought constantly.

The new buildings are lovely and well laid out and the campus renewal is continuing. TLDR is that SMS is a great place and only getting better.
