FUNCTION 

The Cary-Farber-Sherman complex, built in the early 1950's, was originally named for Samuel P. Capen (his name went to a building on the North Campus in the 1970's), and allowed the medical and dental schools to move from their downtown locations. The Biomedical Education Building addition was completed in 1986, and the Biomedical Research Building was added in 1995. Founded in 1846, the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences is the university's oldest division and one of the major biomedical research complexes in the SUNY system.
