Reports from March 2001

Multi-Disciplinary Science Building

Dickinson College
This new teaching and research building brings together the departments of Physics/Astronomy and Mathematics/Computer Science, encouraging interdisciplinary studies while providing a state-of-the-art facility for programs that utilize advanced instructional technology and interactive pedagogic approaches.
 3.31.01



Library and Information Services Center

Central Michigan University
Central Michigan University will add to the Park Library building and renovate the existing facility to establish a technologically advanced Library and Information Services Center. The library will be transformed from the traditional book-based academic library into a comprehensive, computer-networked information center, which will be the centerpiece of a new electronically supported learning environment at the University.
 3.31.01



J.C. Gatehouse Hall

Saint Mary's College
The construction of J.C. Gatehouse Hall represents Phase I of the new Science Center for St. Mary's College of California. The building provides new state-of-art academic space for the departments of Chemistry, Biology, and Psychology and consists of 11 instructional laboratories and support spaces, offices, and classroom/support areas.
 3.31.01



Life Science Center

Calvin College
Calvin College had three objectives in wanting to expand and renovate their existing 125,000-sf Life Sciences Building. First, the building needed to accommodate the increased demand for chemistry and biology laboratory space; second, the psychology and nursing programs, currently located in various buildings, needed to be centralized; and third, the existing mechanical and electrical systems were both outdated for modern technologies and were extremely inefficient.
 3.31.01



Asthma & Allergy Center

Johns Hopkins University
The Johns Hopkins Asthma & Allergy Center is the flagship design for a new biomedical research campus in Baltimore. Its curvilinear shape unusual for a laboratory building responds both to the hill on which the building is sited and to the traffic patterns defining the site, as well as to the facility's functional program requirements. The use of curved secondary components reinforces the building's curved exterior design.
 3.31.01



Searles Science Building

Bowdoin College
In the early 1990s Bowdoin College made a determination to build new facilities for the Biology and Chemistry Departments and to consolidate those sciences who most intensively use digital information technology in completely renovated spaces within the Searles Science Building. The renovation sought to remedy the internal circulation issues and to convert the facility into a sophisticated center for Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science.
 3.31.01



Naito Chemistry Building

Harvard University
The Naito Chemistry Building provides research laboratories, offices, and conference rooms, while serving as the architectural link among three existing science buildings.
 3.31.01



Molecular and Cellular Biology Building

University of Minnesota
The new Molecular and Cellular Biology Building is the keystone facility for the University of Minnesota's efforts to enhance its national stature in the Biological Sciences. Designed as "front door" to the Academic Health Center campus, the building will provide research space for 70 scientists and associated research staff focused primarily on Molecular and Cellular Biology.
 3.31.01



Academic Learning Center

National University
National University, with more than 17,000 students, is the second largest private university in California. Its focus is on adult education providing both bachelor- and master-degree programs. The San Diego Spectrum campus of National University opened to students in September 2000 with a 63,000-sf Academic Center housing 31 classrooms. All 31 classrooms integrate the latest information and teaching technologies. These include an electronic library, electronic chalkboards, and a remote-accessed digital video center. The automated professor's podiums are comparable to a film editor's mixing board allowing the audio-visual integration of compact discs, DVDs, film, video, teleconferencing, and computer presentations. The infrastructure is designed to accommodate planned and future horizon technologies.
 3.31.01



Loyola House

University of San Francisco
The new home for the Jesuit Community at the University of San Francisco is located at the northeastern edge of the Lone Mountain hilltop campus. Overlooking both a garden and the San Francisco Bay Area, Loyola House embodies the dual nature of the Jesuit vocation where inward focus and scholarship complement active service in the University and the City.
 3.31.01



Higgins Hall

Boston College
Higgins Hall, a 1960s building at this 137-year old institution, is being transformed through renovation and addition of a building with a double-loaded corridor (labs on both sides), into a research and learning community, where the corridor dissolves into the space of an atrium, enabling people to meet each other and move freely about.
 3.31.01



Kimmel Cancer Center

Thomas Jefferson University
The new comprehensive Cancer Center located on the Thomas Jefferson University campus will enhance the University's position as a leader in the prevention, treatment, and research of cancer. The programs within the proposed state-of-the-art facility are unique in their ability to offer patients a single location and resource for accessing cancer care services.
 3.31.01



Law School

Suffolk University
The Suffolk University Law School has been in existence for almost a century as a law school serving day and evening students. With 1,700 students, it is the third largest law school in the country. The school is also a major alumni center as many of its graduates live and work in the greater Boston area. The new building provides the Law School with a unique opportunity to reposition itself in the highly competitive law school marketplace and to significantly enhance its reputation regionally and nationally.
 3.31.01



Student Activity Center

Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine
The Student Activity Center at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) is the culmination of a long-range Campus Master Plan. It was essential that the design of the project address certain key elements to successfully integrate the building onto the campus. First, emphasize the placement of the building as the main portal to the campus. Second, as an annex to an existing 300'+ long office building that had limited architectural characteristics, validate the Center's own unique identity while respecting the other building's components. Minimalism became a powerful framework for the design of the Student Activity Center. The choice of a few strong concepts and details defined the new building located on a constricted site. The project successfully integrates the diverse elements of the existing campus.
 3.31.01



Washington, D.C. Center

 3.31.01



Weill Medical College, Whitney Pavilion

Cornell University
This building site became available when New York Hospital moved into their new facility and large blocks of outdated patient care spaces were left empty. Weill Medical College of Cornell University recognized a unique opportunity to acquire contiguous space and leased the seven-floor Whitney Pavilion to be renovated into new state-of-the-art biomedical research laboratories. The College wanted to use the facility as a recruitment tool for new researchers. The renovation included laboratories and offices for 23 new primary investigators who will conduct interdepartmental research in genetic medicine, structural biology, and neuroscience.

 3.31.01



Library Expansion & Renovation

Santa Monica College
Santa Monica College's existing library serves as the central study space for the College. The building is a windowless concrete structure built in the 1970s, situated along the main campus mall, but has little connection to the existing campus. The library has reached its design capacity, cannot readily accommodate new computer technologies, and sustained damage in California's Northridge earthquake. The goals of the expansion and renovation are to incorporate the College's information technology master plan, accommodate increased demand for reader seats and stacks, provide natural light to all interior areas, connect the building to the main campus mall, and structurally strengthen the existing earthquake damaged library.
 3.31.01
