Fostering Collaboration:
- Our technology-enabled spaces empower students, faculty, and staff to collaborate, exchange ideas, and create transformative solutions.

Preserving Institutional History:
- We safeguard historical documents, photographs, and archives that chronicle the evolution of healthcare and medical knowledge within Duke Health.
