New Dental School Building Baltimore College of Dental Surgery University of Maryland, Baltimore Firm Role Design and Executive Architect Services Provided Dental Programming, Program Verification, Design and Construction Services Clinical Spaces 344 operatories and simulation clinic Area 360,000 sq. ft. The challenge presented by the University of Maryland Dental School was to design a $124 million, state-of-the-art oral health, clinical research and teaching facility while responding to the needs of its multiple users faculty, students, researchers and patients. It is a densely urban project and complex in its technical, social and organizational requirements. The design strategy organizes 360,000 square feet of program space, placing educational and clinical areas closer to the ground on the lower five levels, and more restricted research areas on the upper four levels. An extensive infrastructure for mechanical, electrical, and information technology services runs along a central spine, ganging considerable trunk and distribution lines as compactly as possible. A low south-facing, glass-enclosed entry arcade oriented to the sun, and containing entrances, concourse, lobbies, exhibits and a public café extends along Baltimore Avenue, reinforcing its urban setting and engaging in the life of the street. The bulk of the building s program is placed in an eleven-story tower mass extending northward a full city block. Two large atria punctuate the tower s volume, inviting and orienting people on their journey through the building. At the south end of the tower on Baltimore Avenue a nine-story atrium creates a lightfilled vitrine and a welcoming, dynamic introduction to the School. A second transverse atrium, which begins at the building s fifth level, fully bisects the building at its midpoint bringing light and spatial relief to the dense array of academic and research activities located on the upper levels. Dramatic in profile, this tall narrow slice of space is illuminated by sun catchers, shutter-like appendages designed to reflect light into the center of the building. The atria form two bright, powerful spaces where formal and informal conference rooms, lounges and waiting spaces are aggregated. Balconies that resemble opera boxes overlook the activities above and below, providing a stimulating setting for social and intellectual activities.

Strategic Facilities Planning Study School of Dentistry Medical College of Georgia Bohlin Cywinski Jackson provided consulting services to prime architect The Brookwood Group and the School of Dentistry of the Medical College of Georgia as part of a feasibility study for a new building to replace the School s existing facility. The six month study investigated various scenarios for a new facility in relation to the school s educational objectives. Variations in class sizes and their effect upon the physical facilities were studied. BCJ observed and studied the existing building and conducted two rounds of interviews with users including administrators, faculty, students and staff. This resulted in a report identifying functional requirements and unit areas necessary to support the School s educational objectives. The estimated construction costs for the proposed facilities ranged from $104 to $125 million.

The building and its systems are nearing the end of their useful lives and hamper the School of Dentistry s mission provide modern dental education, to treat patients, and to conduct research. The university retained Bohlin Cywinski Jackson to conduct a detailed study of Postle Hall that included analyzing the existing building and investigating the feasibility of its renovation and/or expansion versus the potential of building a completely new facility for the School at another site on Ohio State s campus. The study was comprised of the following stages: An analysis of Postle Hall, the existing Ohio State University College of Dentistry building. This included an evaluation of the exterior envelope, structure, utilities, mechanical and life safety systems. A thorough analysis of the existing and projected space use for the College of Dentistry was performed. This included projections for departmental growth over time, critical adjacencies between departments, and overall organization of the College of Dentistry. Based upon this effort, recommendations were made for various means by which the College of Dentistry could achieve their goals through either renovating and expanding Postle, or through building a new facility. Explored conceptual design of potential building concepts based upon the projected space and organizational requirements of the College of Dentistry. The building concepts considered options for the renovation and expansion of the existing Postle Hall as well as options for a new building on a different site. Performed a detailed analysis of potential sites for new construction based upon the Campus Masterplan and a detailed evaluation of planning criteria. Documented opinions of probable cost and projected construction schedules for the various concepts and sites. Produced a final report for use by the College of Dentistry in defining goals, fundraising, and procurement of capital. B o h l i n C y w i n s k i J a c k s o n 28
