The Basic Science campus is located on 10 acres of land generously provided by the Government of St.
Christopher-Nevis. The campus is situated on the eastern side of Nevis, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean,
three miles from Newcastle airport and one mile from Nisbet Plantation Beach. Currently, the MUA campus
consists of an administration building, classroom buildings, student cafeteria, a multipurpose building with
gross anatomy, microbiology, histology and pathology laboratories, as well as a medical reference library with
free wireless internet access. The teaching microbiology lab includes a wet lab and facilities for incubating
and evaluating microbiological cultures.
A new, "state of the art," 38,500 square foot building will house additional classrooms, administrative
and faculty offices, laboratories, meeting rooms, a clinic, and a general function room.
All classrooms are air-conditioned and contain a wide variety of teaching resources such as classroom
monitors, slide and overhead projectors, microscopes with video capability, LCD projectors, and computers.
The gross anatomy laboratory utilizes human cadavers that have been especially prepared for medical dissection.
The histology and pathology laboratories provide each student with a medical quality binocular microscope
and prepared slides. Faculty has access to dual-binocular and trinocular microscopes to facilitate student
learning.
