TRC Worldwide (Structural Engineer); SSR (MEP Engineer); Barge Cauthen & Associates (Civil Engineer); Hoar Construction (General Contractor)
This signature four-story campus building on the academic quad of Tennessee State University (TSU) consolidates the university’s allied health science programs while remaining flexible enough to meet the needs of several departments. It features collaborative learning space, instructional space for nursing, OT, PT, additional classroom space for health science disciplines and a tiered lecture hall with flexible seating. A gait lab, simulation labs, soft study labs, computer labs and administrative office space are also included. Labs and faculty offices are on the same floor to promote interaction between students and professors, and open stairs foster activity and connection between floors.
The building’s concourse, which faces TSU’s academic quad, features ample glass that provides sweeping views of campus and fills the building with natural light. The concourse also visually connects the Health Sciences Building to the surrounding campus, echoing the open and collaborative design of the classroom and lab spaces. With ample lab, classroom and office space, this building meets the needs of the various health science departments and offers a dynamic and collaborative learning environment.
