Completed in
1889, U of M’s anatomical laboratory was the first constructed in the
country.[26]
Professor of Anatomy, Dr. Moses Gunn expressed the need for better
facilities. To that time, dissections
were conducted in the medical building which could create insecure sanitary
conditions. This brick and stone
building was finally constructed at the cost of $6,535.95.[26]
When West Medical building was completed in 1903, all anatomical work
was moved to this location, resulting in the demolition of the Anatomical
Laboratory. |
