In preparing the building program, The FWA Group conducted an extensive facilities assessment and survey to determine the needs of the new building and the disposition of the vacated space.

Components of the facility include research laboratories, specialized clinics, instructional spaces, and faculty offices. An important factor of the design was the sensitivity to existing campus aesthetics.

Sustainable features included alternative transportation options supported by the building design, an underground cistern to collect storm runoff, elimination of the heat island effect on the roof and non-roof areas, day lighting, low VOC construction, and diverting over 75 percent of the construction waste from the landfill.
