John and Herta Cuneo Center
At the time it was built, Cuneo Center was a model for many other schools of what was a new idea at that time: small group learning,
Today, we are updating the Cuneo Center to respond to and anticipate the needs of current and prospective students. With this construction, we reduced the number of learning clusters to four. They allow different classroom set-ups to accommodate varying educational formats, student study space, and the ability to simultaneously deliver online examinations to an entire medical school class through dedicated computers at each student space. Two large lecture halls provide seating for 150 and 200, two additional Case Method Rooms each seat 78 students and all of these rooms have the ability to remotely broadcast sessions to other rooms/sites to accommodate larger groups. While the building offers wireless connectivity, wired computers are located throughout the building as well as in the Computer Assisted Learning Lab (CALL) allowing students’ access to the Loyola University Medical Education Network (LUMEN), Health Sciences library, email, and internet. Sixteen smaller seminar rooms (accommodate 10-12 people) and are used for small group sessions and as additional sit-down/study space by students. Learning spaces align with the Stritch pedagogy (for example, increased the number of seminar rooms to allow for small group learning, increase the various study space for students, etc.).
Throughout these transitions, the Stritch atrium remains and always will be a space to cultivate and experience community: to gather, to study, and to reflect.
The lower level houses multifunction laboratories for dissection and prosection activities. In 2009, we created the Center for Simulation Education with its Stamm Procedural Training Center & Bedside Teaching Lab and the Advanced Procedure Education Center. With the Selfridge Clinical Skills Center (14 patient exam rooms that simulate an ambulatory experience using standardized patients), a range of educational innovations is available within Cuneo Center. Integrating these facilities into the curriculum supports clinical learning, integration of basic science education, assessment, and inter-professional and team-based learning.
The building’s centerpiece is a second-floor atrium surrounded by student communities. At this hub, you'll find Student Affairs, Admissions, computer labs, Bursar and Financial Aid offices, Registration and Records, Academic Center for Excellence and Accessibility (ACE), and Campus Ministry. All candidates for the Doctor of Medicine degree are automatically enrolled in the Fitness Center, adjacent to Stritch. Students, faculty, staff, and community members use this facility for wellness and exercise, understanding that "care for the whole person" is important to overall wellness and well-being.
