The Mount Sinai Medical Center

Our Campus and State-of-the-Art Facilities

Located in one of the most dynamic and diverse cities in the world, Mount Sinai spans a four-block radius on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Adjacent to one of New York City's treasures, Central Park, the Medical Center extends northward from 98th Street to 102nd Street and eastward from Fifth to Park Avenues, encompassing 17 buildings.

A Prototype for Patient Care

Designed by world-renowned architect I.M. Pei, Mount Sinai's 625-bed Guggenheim Pavilion is the centerpiece of one of the largest reconstruction programs undertaken by an academic medical center. Departing from traditional hospital design, this elegant eleven-story building joins advanced technology with nature's own sunlight to promote healing. Each patient room looks onto a sun-drenched atrium, Central Park, or the city skyline.

Included in the grand pavilion are specialized intensive care units, operating rooms, each no further than an elevator ride away from patient floors, a new emergency room, physician lounges, and consultation rooms.

Extensive Biomedical Facilities

The 18-story, 745,000 square-foot Icahn Medical Institute which, in addition to housing clinical laboratories and patient care beds, is the site of sophisticated basic science laboratories, as well as Mount Sinai's Department of Gene and Cell Medicine. Established to seek genetic solutions to a broad spectrum of medical maladies, the Department is leading the way for the translation of scientific insights and laboratory advances into clinical applications for the twenty-first century.

Academic Resources

Many of your information needs will be met within the Annenberg Building—home of Mount Sinai School of Medicine—where both The Morchand Center for Clinical Competence and the Gustave L. and Janet W. Levy Library are found. The latter, which contains a 150,000-volume collection of books, journals, audiovisuals, databases, and microcomputer software programs in the biomedical sciences, also features a Media Resource Center. Its microcomputers provide a host of applications, including computer-assisted instruction, word processing, file management, and report generation, as well as access to e-mail and Mount Sinai's educational network.
