Welcome
The Commonwealth Medical College (TCMC), also known as The Medical Sciences Building (MSB), is a medical school located in the heart of Scranton, PA. Costing over $120 million, this four story building, with an additional penthouse on the roof, was completed in April, 2011. The architecture was intended to complement the existing schools and hospitals in the surrounding area.
TCMC is a multi-use building, using all modern technology. It has a library where students go for information, Clinical Skills and Simulation Center where students learn from beyond classrooms, lecture halls that can seat up to 160 students, classrooms with Wi-Fi connections, small group meeting rooms where a team of students can work together, and a luxurious student lounge for study or relaxation. TCMC also has a garden around the link that allows the occupants to enjoy the nice green views that the city cannot offer. The building is 93 feet tall and offers 185,000 square feet of space.
