The vision for this remarkable new facility is that students from different health care professions will be able to work together through a variety of education courses. Every aspect of the building’s design encourages human interaction and collaboration to build collective brainpower.
The facility also embodies high performance through its energy systems, program spaces and the collaborative work relationship between the owner and design team. It is the second largest project in the country to achieve LEED Platinum certification, and some of its energy-efficient features include ultra-efficient lighting, HVAC systems and advanced control strategies.
