Department of Veterans Affairs
The Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Campus located in Ann Arbor, Mich., has been serving patients since 1949 through an existing 400-bed main hospital and a 160-bed nursing care facility. Constructed in the early 1950s, when the center was treating less than 30 patients, the facility provides primary and specialty healthcare to more than 21,000 veterans in lower Michigan and northwestern Ohio. More than 240,000 patient visits were logged in 1998.

Chatham College
Chatham College is a small liberal arts college for women founded in 1869 as the Pennsylvania College for Women. The 32-acre campus, recently declared an arboretum, is located on historic Woodland Road in the Shadyside area of Pittsburgh. Chatham College's most famous alumna, Rachel Carson, author of Silent Spring and a leader in the modern environmental movement, has been an inspiration for a strong liberal arts program with an emphasis in the sciences, environmental awareness, and an interest in public service. The renovation and addition to Buhl Hall Science Building is the first capital construction project the College has undertaken in more than 25 years.

University of Wisconsin-Madison
Changes in teaching methods and technology, and an ever-increasing library collection required the University of Wisconsin-Madison Law School to update and expand its existing facility, located on the university's historic Bascom Hill quadrangle. The solution, which includes a 70,000-sf addition and a complete reorganization of the existing building, creates a clear building entrance, takes advantage of Bascom Hill views, organizes all interior spaces around a central circulation spine, and strengthens the image of the law school.
