Introduction The Duke University School of Nursing has been long admired for its celebrated programs and its community of distinguished scholars and clinicians. Since its inception in 1931, the school has created generations of nurse leaders, researchers, and educators. In this time, the school’s evolution has given rise to many outstanding programs, important research, and needed service to the global community. As a reflection of this unprecedented growth and reputation, the School of Nursing’s ranking in graduate programs has soared from No.27 in the country in 2001 to No.1 in 2018.

1. T he School of Nursing, Pearson Building
Specifically under the leadership of Dean Mary Champagne, the School of Nursing began a period of growth with a new sense of direction and purpose. This meteoric rise required a commensurate increase in space to adequately serve the school’s vision. A primary motive for the initial Phase One project was to unite the school’s programs and space, previously spread across campus, into one new facility located within the Duke University Medical Campus and sharing space with the existing Elizabeth C. Clipp Research Building (1973).
PHASE ONE
A New Era
In 2001, Ayers Saint Gross was awarded the commission to design the new facility, realizing the school’s vision to create an iconic identity that exemplified its transformation and exciting potential. Completed in 2005, the Christine Siegler Pearson Building is situated on a beautifully wooded twoacre site at the heart of the thriving and ever-growing Medical Campus. The presenting facade on the main medical campus quadrangle signifies both the importance of the nursing profession in healthcare and the growing status of nursing within the Duke community. The building’s architectural vocabulary recalls the roots of collegiate Gothic vernacular of Duke’s historic campus, reinterpreted in a contemporary expression.
3 Duke University
The Pearson Building was organized on the site in an L-shaped, allowing for the preservation and enhancement of the surrounding wooded area. This purposeful configuration and layout provided an immediate impact for the school and its image; it also allowed for an easy expansion to accommodate future growth. A corner entry tower anchors the threshold to the Medical Campus. Clad in Duke stone and limestone, emblems identify the School of Nursing and the Medical Campus, grounding it in its place and time.
Perhaps the most distinctive and prominent aspect of the building is the commons; a “living room” where students and faculty come together to collaborate, share experiences, socialize, and study. This twostory glass structure engages a carefully landscaped forest and purposefully blurs the distinction between inside and outside. An outdoor terrace extends the “living” space into the courtyard, which has a mix of mature trees and planted landscape. The wood structure of the commons recalls the traditional Duke gothic architectural brand, its warmth relating to the landscape. Designed as an oasis, the commons has become the heart of the school and is a destination location within the Medical Campus. As the distinguishing characteristic and the most recognizable space, the commons is intrinsic to the school’s brand. Inside, the building accommodates the latest in nursing education. The lower floor houses instructional spaces including an auditorium, a case study room, and several flat floor flexible classrooms. Clinical learning spaces are consolidated on the second floor, and include skills labs and a simulation suite. Faculty and senior administration are located on the second and top floors.

Adding to Its Success
During the programming and design of Phase One, it was apparent that the projected growth and success of the school would eventually necessitate an addition. Only five years after its opening of the first phase, the School of Nursing’s enrollment, curricular offerings, and research outperformed the 15-year projections, more than doubling the size of its faculty and student body in less than a decade. The adjacent Clipp Research Building was insufficient to meet the school’s needs, requiring the school to find more space elsewhere on campus to grow. In 2011, Ayers Saint Gross earned another commission, this time to expand the school’s presence with an addition to the original building. Under the leadership of Dean Catherine Gilliss, new spaces were added to increase student success, complement existing programs, and support new programs and curricular offerings.
The addition of another leg to the L-shaped original building created a U-shaped composition, further surrounding the landscaped wooded garden. Using the architectural vocabulary established in the original building, the addition seamlessly bonds new to ‘old.’ Learning spaces were designed to be flexible and adaptable, incorporating the latest active learning pedagogies with integration of state-of-the-art technologies. Clinical learning spaces were expanded, providing new skills simulation and a virtual hospital. Breakout rooms with formal and informal study spaces offer students more opportunities for meeting and collaboration.

First Floor Plan The main entry level contains the highest-profile and most vibrant social spaces in the building. Positioned as a nexus of activity between the two wings of the building, the commons blends seamlessly with the landscaped garden and patio. The structure evokes Duke’s collegiate Gothic heritage in a warm and creative manner. The shape, feel, and expression of the commons embodies the esprit de corps of the school and provides space for students, faculty, and staff to come together in a stimulating, vibrant atmosphere within the Medical Campus. The commons is central to the School of Nursing, and it serves as a destination for faculty, students, and staff.
In addition to the commons, this floor houses many prominent and highly trafficked spaces such as an auditorium, flat floor flexible classrooms, a problembased classroom, and the admissions department. Student support functions are located on this level as well, including a reading room, the IT department, and an IT help desk modeled after Apple’s famous Genius Bar ® concept.

A New Horizon
In 2016, the Department of Physical Therapy and the School of Medicine (Orthopaedics) sought to expand onto the Medical Campus. In the spirit of interdisciplinary collaboration, a site next to the School of Nursing’s Pearson Building was identified as the proposed site for this expansion that required the razing of the Clipp Research Building and relocation of the nursing spaces within. The School of Nursing was looking to expand for a third time within fifteen years, and since the completion of the second building expansion in 2012 had acquired more space off site to meet their growing demand. Under the guidance of Dean Marion Broome this project was instrumental
1. T he School of Nursing, Pearson Building 2. Duke Health Interprofessional Education Center 3. Hanes House 4. Trent Drive Hall 5. D uke Health Facility Planning, Design, & Construction
in bringing all the nursing spaces back onto campus under the nursing umbrella. As an integral part of the Medical Campus, the School of Nursing had leveraged use of the Standardized Patient (SP) suite in the School of Medicine for simulation training. With two bustling programs sharing resources, timing and availability had compromised the School of Nursing’s use of the facility. To solve this scheduling and growth issue, a dedicated SP suite for the School of Nursing was desperately needed. All combined, these factors generated 32,000 NASF of new space for the School of Nursing, or roughly half of the space, in the new Duke Health Interprofessional Education Center.

The Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program is on parallel tracks with the School of Nursing, both boasting high rankings, numerous academic accolades, and world-class faculty. The expansion of Pearson was a great opportunity for the DPT to have a front door on campus while implementing the department’s mission of team-based learning and interprofessional connections with colleagues throughout Duke. Programmatically, the first level of the Duke Health Interprofessional Education Center accommodates most of the DPT’s academic and student-centric functions. The public commons concourse of the first floor connects two major access points to the building from Trent Drive on the east and the Medical Campus on the west, and is heavily traversed. Two key instructional spaces are located on this public commons: the 150seat collaborative tiered classroom and the 108-seat
active-learning classroom (ALC). The use of large overhead doors on the ALC increases the adaptability of the public space with the intent to host school-wide events that previously had to be held off site. Similar to the Pearson Building, the exterior landscape is seamlessly integrated with the interior environment with several doors opening to the “Garden in Motion,” the concept for the landscape design to showcase the intrinsic kinetic nature of physical therapy and orthopaedic surgery. In addition to the Physical Therapy core courses, the building enables the program to add an Occupational Therapy (OT) major to the curriculum. The Occupational Therapy Skills Lab serves as this program’s primary clinical learning lab. The student lounge and several student meeting rooms constitute the balance of the area of Level 1.

Second Floor Plan compromise the fidelity of the simulated clinical exams. It is purposefully located at the base of the Duke Health Interprofessional Education Center’s bridge connection which serves as the primary access point for the School of Nursing students and faculty. Beyond the HIL is the large skills environment for the Physical Therapy as well as the OT classroom. The second floor also includes offices, support, and conference areas for the DPT faculty.

The second floor houses the extension of the School of Nursing’s Center for Nursing Discovery. The new lab space was envisioned as an incubator where learners and clinicians can engage to develop and test innovations in health technology and care delivery, thus named the Health Innovation Lab (HIL). It is comprised of a highly visible Robotics Lab and a robust Standardized Patient Suite that is designed so that students and actors each have dedicated spaces and entrances to avoid any potential run-ins that would

Third Floor Plan The School of Nursing’s need for another active learning classroom to function similarly to the one in Pearson is located here, again at the base of the building’s bridge connection. The large 96-seat classroom is intended for daily instructional space and accommodates the program’s on-campus intensives, the three days per semester when all MSN students in APRN majors (distance-based learners) gather for required on-campus coursework, facilitating face-to-face interactions, simulation, and hands-on activities. Operable partitions can be deployed to create intimate classrooms for smaller groups during these sessions. This design approach has allowed the School of Nursing flexibility to accommodate a wide spectrum of curricular requirements without the need to build extra space.
Across the hall is the Interprofessional Education (IPE) suite which is dedicated to student meeting and lab space, and provides resources for advanced studies, research, and wellness. The third floor also includes student services, testing accommodations, offices, support, and conference areas for School of Nursing faculty.
