Present
The School of Medicine Library’s social gathering space can be found on the 3rd floor, known as the Third Floor Gallery. Take a break from your busy work or study schedule in a large soft-seating area overlooking the Las Vegas Medical District and portions of the Las Vegas Strip. Here we hold library programs and events throughout the year supporting the knowledge and wellbeing of the medical school community. Stop by when you can, you might have a chance to pet a furry visitor during our pet therapy sessions.
