The Medical Education Building is a collaborative learning environment for medical students and faculty at the University of Missouri. As my capstone thesis project, it combines the use of medical simulation, technology and education to create an advanced learning environment. The building is designed to address the unique needs of the students and faculty to further the growth of medical education.

Spatial Adjacency + Research
Each space has a critical need within the Medical Education Building. Spaces provide a unique atmosphere and influence the users. Key spaces in the adjacency matrix are dotted with corresponding colors which reflect a unique environment. This type of analysis further defined the educational advancement of the building and serves as a better understanding of its overall purpose.
EXHALE: Relax, Recharge, Regroup TEAMWORK: Promote integration between students in variety of disciplines REPLENISH: Recharge instructors adds effectiveness CUSTOMIZATION: Give students personal control over environment

Medical Education Building
The concept of the building is based on two forms creating a third. In this third form is the flow of main circulation. Outlets on both sides feed into key areas which allows the central form to serve as the main public area in the building. On the first floor a wide sweeping staircase leads up to the second floor. This central space continually draws the eye through the building to suggest a continual movement.

Operation Room
The Medical Education Building provides two fully equipped surgical rooms with adjoining scrub rooms. These spaces allow for a team of surgical students to practice skills and procedures while working in a team supported environment. An observation room on the third level lets instructors and students watch a simulated operation for both educational and training purposes. High fidelity simulation training provides students with the opportunity to train without the severe consequences in real life scenarios.

Flooring design is based on the setup of the operation room. Colored tiles organize the surgical space by critical need and position. The most critical being the center with the patient, head surgeon, anesthesiologist, secondary surgeon, and scrub nurses.
Child Development Lab

Playground
The Child Development Lab is a children’s daycare in the bottom level of Stanley Hall. The project entailed a complete redesign of the facility with respect to the existing structural forms as well as redesigning the playground outside. The playground was the first part of the redesign. It had a severe flooding issue that washed away good soil and caused the breeding of mosquitoes. The playground couldn’t grow grass because of the flooding problem and the lack of sunlight from dense trees. The solution to this issue was to redirect the water flow and filter excess to reuse for outdoor activities.

Child Development Lab
Floor Plan The Child Development Lab consists of four classrooms. The red and green rooms are development rooms for children three to five years of age. The blue room is for children up to two years old and the nursery is for babies and infants. This facility is owned and operated by the University of Missouri and is used as a daycare system for the children of faculty and as an advanced learning environment for children before they begin kindergarten. The use of textures, colors and patterns stimulate learning. The educational material promotes basic skills and functions to prepare them for formal schooling. The lab also serves as an educational example for university students pursuing a career in early childhood education and allows them to have one-on-one interactions with the children.

Lake House
03
The concept of this design is centered around a courtyard. Elements of importance were flow, ease of transition, indoor/outdoor boundaries, aging and connection to nature. The courtyard faces south and is bridged over a small creek. It separates the public and private spaces of the house and eases the boundary from indoor space to outdoor space. The surrounding house shelters the inner courtyard and creates a flow of circulation throughout the house. Studio Instructor: Dr. Benyamin Schwarz Summer 2014
Living Room
The interiors of the Lake House reflect the natural beauty of the surrounding environment. Raw tones of wood and stone are used throughout the house. Cool and soft colors accent the spaces while warm light floods through an open beamed ceiling from clerestory windows.

The Antheneum by Richard Meier
Diagrammatic Analysis As part of an upper level environmental studies class, we were to diagram a series of architectural works to best interpret their design and features. The Atheneum is a museum located in New Harmony, Indiana designed by architect Richard Meier in 1975 and completed in 1979. New Harmony is a German settlement town that was based on self-sustaining religious principles but is currently based on tourism. The museum is now used to commemorate the history of the town. The building form is based on mingled geometries that hold a stong connection to the Wabash River and adjacent corn field. These areas influenced the specific angles that are used in the museums complex composition. Meier manipulated simple elements to create an intrinsic work of art.

Ledge House by BCJ Architects
The Ledge House is a 4,250 SF residence in rural Maryland near the Catocin Mountains and was designed by Bohlin, Cywinkski and Jackson Architects in 1992. The house sits on a rocky ledge gently between the pine trees overlooking a stream valley. The structure of the house is maintained by heavy timbers and stonework that are emphasized throughout the interior as well.
