Many of the current campus buildings were originally part of Grasslands Hospital, the predecessor of the Westchester Medical Center. While Sunshine Cottage served as the pediatric tuberculosis hospital, Claude W. Munger, M.D., Pavilion served as the adult tuberculosis hospital building. Prior to the purchase of the 19 Skyline building complex, Munger Pavilion housed most clinical departments of New York Medical College. Since the move of all offices and departments from Munger Pavilion to the 19 Skyline Drive building complex, the Munger Pavilion is no longer in use and is currently vacant.
Munger Pavilion is named after Claude W. Munger, M.D., director of Grasslands Hospital, the predecessor of the Westchester Medical Center, from 1924-1937.
