The multi-discipline classroom building serves as the primary home for the largest program on campus, nursing, as well as the business program and general-purpose classrooms. The design process, influenced by the COVID pandemic, emphasizes the importance of providing modern, effective training for the future generations of nurses. This focus prioritizes the creation of high-quality patient simulation labs and eliminating obstacles to enhance effective teaching. With input from students and faculty, the design caters to a diverse range of activities while supporting students during the rigorous coursework of nursing education.
“Early in the project, the design team saw immense opportunity to create a student space for future program growth, while carving out opportunities to support the well-being of the students,” said Adam Luckhardt, Senior Architect for LEO A DALY. “Recognizing that nursing education is extremely demanding, it was important to incorporate numerous areas where students can focus, relax and socialize.”

Fulfilling sustainable and economic priorities, the project preserves the original concrete and steel, which results in a 60% reduction in embodied carbon emissions through reuse of existing structure. The building envelope, infrastructure, façade, existing mechanical system, windows and degraded masonry are upgraded, bringing the building closer to modern standards. Notably, the project was completed on time and recycled more than 90% of all project construction waste, exceeding the 70% minimum requirement mandated for state-funded higher-education projects.
“While buildings like this could be demolished, we believe these structures have value and can be reimagined,” said Daniel Yudchitz, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP, Director of Design for LEO A DALY. “This renovation illustrates that buildings no longer optimal can be transformed into high-performance facilities that support modern learning, enhance student experience and are economical to construct.”

“The design for the visitor center sought to celebrate its built history and retain the character of historic elements while creating innovative, thoughtful spaces to serve modern needs,” said Matthew Keenan, Project Manager for LEO A DALY. “Every wall and surface, every window and door and their trace patina were considered and commemorated with each proposed intervention.”
Sustainable design measures focused on integrating modern, efficient MEP systems in an historic building and the use of native and healing plant species across the entire restored site. Upon visiting the site, a wider and more diverse range of visitors can now visualize and understand its complicated histories and potentially, their own connection to this place.
