JUDGES’ COMMENTS
A concept project. The use of glass and openness to outdoors will be positives. Interested in the mentioned notion of biophilic design.
PLANNED TO BE the tenth- largest accredited osteo- pathic medical school in the United States, the Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteo- pathic Medicine at Nova Southeastern University is an example of the highest level of medical technology and prestige. With 150,000 square feet of classrooms and labs, 150,000 square feet of health services, and 50,000 square feet of stu- dent services, the school is predicted to be an example for all other medical educa- tion facilities in the future.
Baker Barrios Architects did the master planning, architecture, interior design, and landscape design, all while keeping the vision of the Patel family in mind. Baker Barrios Architects has planned and designed col- lege and university facilities and nearly every building type that is represented on higher education campuses, but knowing that this col- lege will be such an innova- tive and important space
in the medical world has created a heightened sense of prestige and pride in the project.
