What does the research space of the future look like? And can it be housed in older buildings—or does it require new construction?
In New Cairo, Egypt, The American University in Cairo (AUC) has broken ground on a roughly 270,000-sf expansion of its campus. The project encompasses two new buildings intended to enhance the physical campus and support AUC’s mission to provide top-tier education and research.
The University of California, Riverside, School of Medicine has opened the 94,576-sf, five-floor Education Building II (EDII). Created by the design-build team of CO Architects and Hensel Phelps, the medical school’s new home supports team-based student learning, offers social spaces, and provides departmental offices for faculty and staff.
Not only are the world’s youth educated in these buildings, but much of the globe’s most ground-breaking research takes place here. Requirements for housing students are more expansive than ever, but need to be balanced with the university’s real purpose: the pursuit of knowledge. Great design can inspire that pursuit.
While student and faculty health and well-being should be a top priority in all spaces within educational facilities, this article will highlight some key considerations.
SLAM designed the project.
The project will be Henning Larsen’s first in Austria.
HED designed the project.
KWK Architects designed the project.
Hanrahan Meyers Architects, in collaboration with Cannon Design, designed the project.
If a campus is not as efficient as it could be, end users will use their feet to let designers know about it.
Diamond Schmitt and Number TEN Architectural Group designed the project.
The inaugural class of DOE’s Better Buildings Building Envelope Campaign includes a medical office building that uses hybrid vacuum-insulated glass and a net-zero concrete-and-timber community center.
It is a careful balance within any educational facility to provide both multidisciplinary, multiuse spaces and special-use spaces that serve particular functions.
