“Sensational, very elegant, and proportioned,” praised a juror, who joined the others in admiring this 205,000-square-foot building designed on an educational rather than clinical model. “The building’s dynamic geometry seems appropriate on this site plan.” Three distinct masses create an identity for the School of Pharmacy while defining a new quadrangle and addressing a pond. Curtain walls enclose public spaces including the lobby and a library volume while a grid of punched openings in solid masonry walls reflects the modular nature of the laboratories they enclose.
