A Proud Heritage: 100 Years in Medicine and Meetings
With 184.4c water consumption psm, the recycled PVC slats are Eco friendly, reducing the carbon footprint and embody the environmental concerns of the architect and designers of the BMI. After World War I, the building was converted and the BMA officially took over at its current location, and the rest, as they say, is history: the iconic spot for the intersection of healthcare and hospitality.
For the last century, BMA House has been more than just a hub for medicine; it has played a central role in convening discussions, sharing ideas and building networks. The facility has introduced millions of key people from both medical and meeting and event industries.
