Charleston Area Medical Center
Charleston Area Medical Center is West Virginia’s largest medical center with more than 5,000 employees and 913 licensed beds in three hospitals within four miles of each other.
BSA LifeStructures was commissioned to plan the consolidation of 1.5 million square feet of services on one campus. Consolidating services spread among three hospitals and an additional 15 facilities optimizes functional adjacencies and eliminates redundancies.
The planning process revealed that the Memorial campus, located in the Kanawha River area of Charleston, offers the best opportunities for future growth. The campus is co-located with the prestigious West Virginia University Health Sciences Center which houses their schools of medicine, dentistry, nursing and pharmacy.
56
Acute Care Consolidation and Master Plan
Together with the CAMC leadership team, BSA LifeStructures developed a long-term plan for the implementation of the consolidated campus. The planning process incorporated the hospital’s strategic plan, meetings with campus stakeholders and a series of facilities and service line assessments. The result includes the identification of short-, mid-, and long-term capital projects, including those that enable the transfer of services to the Memorial campus.
The Bradford pavilion has replaced surgeries in a 140,000 square-foot expansion to the main Memorial Campus. A joint project with the West Virginia School of Medicine, a new Clinical Teaching Center provides training for healthcare professionals and improved medical services for West Virginians.

Architects and engineers as students and investigators The buildings on the Indiana University School of Medicine campus are expressions of what we have learned from the scientific researcher. We’ve learned much about optimal workflow in a lab, about modularity, and about how to manage the tension between common areas and private enclaves to support both collaboration and solitude. We’ve developed a deep expertise on how a structure can best support a multitude of systems within rigorous code environments. And, like the researchers we’ve served, BSA LifeStructures has brought an inquisitive and open mind to every assignment.
88
A core BSA LifeStructures ethic is articulated elegantly on the Indiana University School of Medicine campus: relationships are the foundations of successful environments. Working together, the whole can be far greater than the sum of the parts.

Located on a tight urban site with an interstate embankment to the north, busy interchange to the west and elevated people mover system to the south, this project was charged with creating an appropriate response to a city edge. The new basin terminates the canal development work just to the south of 11th Street.
The lab consolidation project, private by program, has a civic responsibility to act as the headpiece to the canal axis. In turn, the building offers stunning views from upper levels stretching to the south and of the Indianapolis skyline.
The lab floors are situated on a three-story parking structure, which serves as a base and brings the occupied floors to the level of the People Mover tracks. The new automated system transports public and staff between the 16th Street Methodist campus and the Clinical Lab, then on to the campus of the Indiana University School of Medicine.

The building forms the corner of a new quadrangle. The building was molded around paths of movement that organized the program blocks around a central spine–a three-story space that serves as the building heart and encourages connections between students, faculty and researchers. The academic first level houses teaching labs that are conceptual “black boxes”–flexible zones served by a network of systems that allow for multiple configurations, acknowledging changes in curriculum and science that occur at an ever-increasing pace.

In the 1980s, when the medical campus began its current expansion, the Indiana University School of Medicine set a goal that it be unified by a common architectural vocabulary of red brick, limestone trim and pitched roofs, and scaled to a predominantly pedestrian campus. One goal of BRTC is to maintain the unity of the medical campus architecture as the campus expands northward while responding to the more industrial and non-pedestrian character of the surrounding neighborhood.
The planning of BRTC is based on modular laboratories that are both generic and adaptable. The use of modular laboratories provides the School of Medicine the needed flexibility for its ever-changing research programs. The primary research currently being conducted in this facility is genomic and proteomic research associated with the Indiana Genomic Initiative.

Modular labs form three blocks in a “U” shape that allows the south center portion of the building to be hollowed out into gathering space that provides support for an auditorium. This area catches light and serves as the heart of the research campus. The gathering space is at the second level and relates to the People Mover connection–a primary access point for researchers approaching the facility from remote parking locations. The taller portion of the building is held to the north–a response to the larger scale Wishard Hospital complex.
The building character is consistent with the brick gabled forms that are the hallmark of the School of Medicine precinct. Strong masonry, metal and glass forms are interwoven to create a project that feels as if it has always existed as a foundation for the area.

AMPATH Center
The AMPATH Centre in Eldoret, Kenya is dedicated to the care of HIV-infected patients. The conceptual design represents a “walled village� with clinics and an enclosed courtyard on the first level and research facilities on the second level.

“The building is the cornerstone of this comprehensive response to the HIV scourge,” said Robert Einterz, MD, Director of the Indiana University-Moi University Partnership. “The building provides the space that we need to expand our teaching, research and care missions. For the first time, Kenya will have the capacity to care for thousands of HIV-infected people in an environment that will enable the training of a generation of medical doctors, nurses, public health workers and other healthcare professionals. As important, the new building will enable some of America’s best researchers to team with their Kenyan counterparts to find solutions to Africa’s HIV pandemic.”

The first level of the 44,500 square-foot facility is public–designed for patients. The second level is private–designed for researchers. An open-air courtyard protected by the facility walls allows patients, caregivers and researchers to take advantage of Eldoret’s idyllic climate. The city’s 7,000-foot elevation above sea level provides relief from the equatorial heat.
The typical patient care model includes a waiting area, exam rooms, charting/work room, assessment/vital signs, research assistant work area and patient and staff restrooms.

The 49-acre site is a former farm field along an interstate–in central Indiana. The planning of the campus draws from the subtle strengths of the land. The site gently slopes from north to south to a natural wetland. A tree line forms the far south boundary of the site, offering a distant view that will change through the seasons.

The building is somewhat mysterious as approached from the north, and parking is relegated to the north and west side. The long east/west orientation takes advantage of south light and divides the site into parking and natural areas.

This new community college houses general classrooms and distance learning spaces, specialized labs for chemistry and biology, a library, offices, gathering and support spaces. In addition to traditional academic functions, the city supported the integration of a multi-use conference and education center to be used by the community.

Ivy Tech Community College
The gathering space to the south of the library is a two-story, light-filled atrium with views to the wetland and trees beyond–a discovered scene. Terraces at the gathering space and the education center serve as breakout rooms during good weather. A free-standing trellis provides shade and shadow to the terrace. Its lightness serves as counterpoint to the weight of the building.
The college is clad in an energetic mix of modest materials: masonry, glass and synthetic stucco. The multi-use conference space has its own entry and is inflected–clearly distinct from the main form–highlighting its use by the broader community. With no precedents to draw from, the building is rendered as a modern collection of clean forms.

Several town hall meetings with stakeholders resulted in a core concept that shaped the building design: cancer patient care utilizing multidisciplinary clinic modules. Patients don’t have to move, their treatment can take place within a single exam/treatment module. This strategy increases efficiency and patient safety.
Formed tightly around a linear, light-filled organizing spine, spaces collect into neighborhoods. The building geometry of rectangle intersecting circle creates hierarchy and greater opportunity for views on this urban corner site.

The building character references its larger-scaled campus neighbors, but its expressed vitality and key location gives it a place of prominence beyond its physical stature.
Providing space for treatment and research, the facility is key to recruiting staff and specialized cancer experts. Locating functions that were distributed among several facilities, the project serves as a gateway and iconic structure at the front door of the SIU Medical School’s Springfield campus.

Designed to serve as the home for the undergraduate program, the project consists of an addition wrapping the corner of the existing building and major renovations, including infrastructure system upgrades to the original building.
The building draws from the historic architecture of the original business school–Woodburn Hall–completed in a stylized collegiate gothic language. Indiana limestone is shaped to create a combination of gabled forms, a tower, projecting bays and a lower scaled entry. The design significantly enhances the physical presence of the School of Business and supports the Undergraduate School
