PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The 45,000 sf facility is split on two levels which step up the steep slope of the site.  The lower level contains much of the student learning spaces with lecture halls, break-out rooms, and a student lounge which all look out to the surrounding verdant landscape.  A mock pharmacy and additional practice-based labs are placed on the upper level which is fronted by a screened open-air lanai where students can socialize, study, and see learning in action.
