Perkins Eastman designed a gut renovation of an existing Astrophysics research building (SOM,1964) which adds two new levels to build the University’s new home for Theoretical and Experimental Physics. Surrounded by much larger biomedical and engineering buildings, the LASR Renovation & Addition adds a mature and refined building to the University’s North Science Quad. This new building defines and enhances campus space while celebrating the importance of Physics at the University. The new facility unites the University’s two branches of physics research – Theorists and Experimentalists – within the same building. For decades, the two groups were located in separate buildings. This renovation and addition creates new flexible experimental physics labs and significant special purpose instrument labs. To further the intellectual discourse and camaraderie between groups, the project features two large collaboration spaces. One is a formal seminar room for scheduled lectures and events while the other is an informal lunch commons and exterior roof patio for group meals and lunchtime talks. These spaces provide excellent views overlooking the newly landscaped quad and also exhibit their activities to the campus below. 11

The approach to the master planning for the 480,000 gsf academic research quadrangle at Washington University in St. Louis’ Danforth Campus is based on the University’s original campus planning strategies and an appreciation for the integrity of its historic collegiate Gothic buildings thereby strengthening the University’s architectural brand at a critical gateway site. The Engineering quadrangle site is located on the prominent northeast corner of campus, one of the last undeveloped sites on the school grounds. It faces two major boulevards as well as the ceremonial entrance to the University. The site also engages a public transit stop, a major student approach to the campus. The team’s planning and design extends the scale and rhythm of the existing interconnected courtyards all the way to the site, creating a new pedestrian entrance to the university. The buildings are shaped to create engaging, overlapping spaces that provide framed views to featured buildings and focal elements, including a new student dining space and the historic Brookings Hall. At the same time, the signature entrance drive was reshaped and formalized, framing the approach to Brookings Hall. Vehicles are directed to subsurface lots which preserve the exterior grade spaces as pedestrian zones. 17

The Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the Washington University in St. Louis conducts high-impact research and trains future researchers, engineers and educators in both the fundamental properties of computing systems and how computation can benefit a wide range of disciplines. Key themes include: designing systems that interact with humans and the physical world; using computation to interpret large data sets from science and engineering, and creating a safe and secure infrastructure to connect millions of people to their data and to each other. Perkins Eastman designed the 86,000 sf McKelvey Hall which will become the new home to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. The building is one aspect of the most significant capital projects in Washington University’s recent history: the transformation of the east end of the Danforth Campus. McKelvey Hall will reflect the recent masonry collegiate Gothic exterior designs of the surrounding buildings. Its interior will provide contemporary and flexible spaces for a range of state-of-the-art computational engagement activities, including: computer science laboratories, faculty offices, Student learning spaces (including highly flexible classrooms), and collaboration and interaction spaces. 23

“This is a transformative moment for Camden.

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey

Located on a triangular site on the edge of City Hall Plaza between the Rutgers University Camden campus and the Cooper Medical Center, Perkins Eastman’s design for the new state-of-the-art Nursing and Science Building bridges academic programs with the clinical experience and research and expands Rutgers’ ability to prepare for a new generation of science and nursing leaders. To strengthen this connection, the primary interior circulation parallels the city grid and is repeated on all four levels of the building. Along the southwest façade this “student street” provides access to major learning spaces, opportunities for collaboration and socializing, and views overlooking a park. The transparency and modulation of this façade showcase the activity within. In contrast, the north and east façades feature masonry in response to the context of the adjacent city buildings. Within the building there are a variety of learning spaces, including lecture halls, case-study rooms, interactive classrooms, seminar rooms, and group study nodes. The biology and physics laboratories provide both research and teaching spaces. For the nursing program, skills and assessment laboratories, simulation, and standardized patient suites provide optimal teaching spaces for the delivery of health care education. 29

Simons Center for Geometry & Physics

Starting with a gift from benefactor Jim Simons and Stony Brook University, Perkins Eastman designed a world-class sustainable mathematics research and physical sciences facility located on its main campus. From day one, the design began with a strong vision to propel mathematics and physics at Stony Brook into the international arena. The new facility, in concept and function, represents the convergence of cutting-edge ideas between geometry and physics, which have greatly developed in recent years. Its main goals are to create a dynamic environment for interaction, academic study, and collaboration among the two schools of thought. Unlike adjacent buildings, the new Center is used primarily for faculty members, post-doctoral, and graduate students and focuses on faculty offices and discussion spaces more than instructional space.

Perkins Eastman transformed 10,000 sf of two partial floors in Pupin Hall, a registered National Historic Landmark on the northern edge of Columbia University’s historic Morningside Campus. The renovation of these floors creates a new Center for Theoretical Physics, a destination for distinguished researchers, visitors, and students. The design creates a distinct identity for the Center and provides places for informal collaboration as well as offices for quiet, individual work. The strategic adjacencies and proportions of these two types of spaces are major contributors to the success of this project. The design features a communicating stair between the two floors which links the café space, and a variety of group meeting areas, with surrounding offices. Terrazzo defines the stair, its integrated large table, and the surrounding flooring. Some of the common areas provide places for meetings and special events. In response to the larger campus context, the stair aligns with a major pedestrian axis outside providing south facing views of Columbia’s historic and memorable campus from within the Center for theoretical physics. 53

“It seems clear that data is going to play an increasingly important role in all aspects of science and it is very exciting to create an organization to exploit that realization.

To continue its focus on technology and transition from an associate to a baccalaureate degree institution, Morrisville State College introduces curricula that supports the vision for a new Center for Design and Engineering. Perkins Eastman converted an existing agricultural building to house the new programs in design and technology, which includes majors in architecture, landscape design, mechanical and electrical engineering technology, drafting technology, and wood products technology. Perkins Eastman completed a program and feasibility study to address the physical condition of the existing facility and define initial program requirements, and completed the $9.2M renovation. Perkins Eastman’s design concept introduces a generic spatial approach that allows the school program flexibility and future growth. Creative work spaces and the unique programs elements include a visualization studio, central atrium, and student gallery. Communal support spaces such as wood shops, spray booths, and rapid prototyping labs are concentrated in one area and shared by different departments. Low-energy consumption along with energy-efficient HVAC controls are just a few of the sustainable strategies that were implemented to attain a LEED Silver Certification. 65
