Keith Administration Building

Ever wonder what secrets hide within those imposing walls? We stand before the Keith Administration Building, a vital hub of the Keck School of Medicine of USC. The Keith Administration Building isn’t just a stately structure. It’s a dynamic center of medical administration, education, and community engagement. Constructed in 1968, the Keith Administration Building has witnessed the evolution of medical practice and research. It houses not only the administrative offices of the Keck School of Medicine but also classrooms and the 450-seat Mayer Auditorium. This auditorium serves as a versatile space, hosting lectures, campus forums, and a variety of events. Tucked away in the basement of the Keith Administration Building is the Hoyt Gallery. For almost fifteen years, this gallery has showcased the artwork of patients, students, faculty, and staff, curated by the Keck School of Medicine’s Artist-in-Residence, Ted Meyer. The gallery’s exhibitions are often linked to the medical school curriculum through the Humanities, Ethics/Economics, Art, and Law (HEAL) program, bridging the gap between art and medicine. Imagine the countless students who have walked these halls, their minds buzzing with medical knowledge. Picture the groundbreaking research discussed within these walls, shaping the future of healthcare. The Keith Administration Building is more than just bricks and mortar. It’s a living testament to the dedication and innovation of the Keck School of Medicine.
