N 1934; our nephew graduated in 2000 and our daughter is in her second year of med school at Wayne," said Weitz. "We benefit from the stream of Wayne State graduating physicians that locate in Traverse City and other more north- ern towns. "To continue that stream, the school needs to recruit students. This new facility will improve recruitment for medical students because it will excel the already excellent clinical training students receive There are 1,070 medical students and 375 graduate students at the WSU Medical School, making it the third largest in the country. With its increase in enrollment and educational activi- ties, the demand for increased space became a priority. Driving Force "The primary purpose of the Commons," says Frank, "is to provide the students with a first-class facility, which will include small group areas for studying and teaching, a renovated library and new auditorium." Frank and his wife, Sharon Popp, donated a gift toward the Marjorie Peebles-Meyers Atrium. "There will also be a new and unique simulation center where physicians and students can study new techniques and proce- dures before treating patients as well as a coffee shop open 24/7," he says. The Medical Education Commons will consist of a three-story struc- ture connected to the Vera Shiffman Medical Library and a two-story structure connected to Gordon Scott Hall. The two structures will be con- nected to each other by an elevated pedestrian bridge. The Medical Education Commons building will provide six large class- rooms, a flex-classroom that will double as an auditorium, conference rooms, student relaxation and medi- tation space and the Library Super- service Center. Both structures will be located on Canfield Avenue. The Commons will feature a formal lobby and a three-story atrium. Part of the library renovation includes a gift from Dr. and Mrs. Robert Jampel to establish the Jampel Detroit Historical Medical Collection. "Wayne State Medical School is the major producer of Michigan physi- cians and it should have the best of facilities," says Jampel. "The library itself will be reduced from three floors to one floor because so much medi- cal literature is now available on the Internet. The library will operate from the first floor and provide several group study rooms and small reading areas. The second floor of the Shiffman Library will be converted to a Clinical Skills Center that will include patient examination rooms and four-station patient simulation suites. It will provide several support areas related to clinical training activities. The third floor will feature student testing and computer laboratories and the School of Medicine's admissions and financial aid departments. The Mazurek Medical Education Commons is part of the $500 mil- lion goal for the Wayne First Capital Campaign. Li
