That changed in July 2018 when the Annette and Irwin Eskind Family Biomedical Library and Learning Center opened after a yearlong, $12.9 million renovation that signaled a major shift in where and how students learn and interact with each other and faculty. VUSM occupies Eskind\u2019s second, third and fourth floors, which feature flexible, technology-enhanced classrooms, study spaces, a lounge and a rooftop patio as well as offices for administrators and staff. The ground and first floors are dedicated to library space. The medical education areas were specifically designed to support the hands-on, team-based learning of the school\u2019s Curriculum 2.0.<\/p>\n<p><em>+ Photography by Anne Rayner<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2415 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/medschool.vanderbilt.edu\/vanderbilt-medicine\/ryan-mcgrath-1\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"78\" height=\"111\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/t2-main\/medschool-prd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/82\/2014\/07\/Ryan-McGrath-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Ryan McGrath, M.D., \u201814 and Ashlee Inman\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2323\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2323'>\n\t\t\t\tRyan McGrath, M.D., \u201814 and Ashlee Inman\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/medschool.vanderbilt.edu\/vanderbilt-medicine\/steve-kutner\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"97\" height=\"75\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/t2-main\/medschool-prd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/82\/2014\/07\/Steve-Kutner.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Stephen Kutner, M.D., \u201865, with Project Vision\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2324\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2324'>\n\t\t\t\tStephen Kutner, M.D., \u201865, with Project Vision\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/medschool.vanderbilt.edu\/vanderbilt-medicine\/sww_0025\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/t2-main\/medschool-prd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/82\/2014\/07\/SWW_0025-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Jeff Spencer, M.D. Photo by Susan Woog Wagner.\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2325\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2325'>\n\t\t\t\tJeff Spencer, M.D. Photo by Susan Woog Wagner.\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/medschool.vanderbilt.edu\/vanderbilt-medicine\/tru1258119\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/t2-main\/medschool-prd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/82\/2014\/07\/TRU1258119-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Michael Burry, M.D. Photo by Jonas Karlsson.\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2326\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2326'>\n\t\t\t\tMichael Burry, M.D. Photo by Jonas Karlsson.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/medschool.vanderbilt.edu\/vanderbilt-medicine\/vuh_1945b\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/t2-main\/medschool-prd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/82\/2014\/07\/VUH_1945b-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Entrance to Vanderbilt Hospital from across 21st Avenue, ca. 1960.\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2327\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2327'>\n\t\t\t\tEntrance to Vanderbilt Hospital from across 21st Avenue, ca. 1960.
