Explore the design and development of UB's new Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences with Kenneth Drucker, design principal of HOK, the global architecture firm that led design for the state-of-the-art medical facility and signature addition to the Buffalo cityscape. Welcoming its first students this month, UB’s medical school and integrated transit station serves as a new gateway to downtown and an anchor to the vibrant Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
