A Flexible, Forward-thinking Environment
Our approach centered on creating a flexible, forward-thinking environment that enhances both individual learning and team-based collaboration. We worked closely with the design team to create a 6-story, 80,000-SF building that balances high-tech medical education needs with student well-being.
The design incorporates a virtual anatomy lab, simulation suites, and versatile learning spaces that support active engagement, all while maintaining a commitment to sustainability through energy-efficient systems and eco-friendly materials.
“Through advanced simulation, augmented reality anatomy labs and other technologies, we will ensure that our students receive exceptional training. Our doctors will be trained to very high standards of medical excellence and will understand and meet the healthcare needs of their patients, including those living in underserved regions.”
