Where it all began
Originally, the Medical School was housed in offices in the Education Building of Memorial University of Newfoundland and at the General Hospital. In the Spring of 1968, the provincial government committed over one million dollars for the construction of the Temporary Buildings, which would house the Faculty of Medicine until the late 1970s. In fact, the first medical class had graduated before the move to the new facilities had begun.
