School off Medicine offices and Cancer Research Labratories
Loma Linda, CA
Conceived as the new face of the School of Medicine with its valued siting at the terminus to University Mall. Two buildings in one, the design for the School of Medicine Offices and Cancer Institute forms a symmetrical presence heightening the axial nature of the mall while becoming a focus point and backdrop for daily Campus life and special sermonical activities.
Offices inhabit the glazed curtainwall wings, angled and outstretched in a visual embrace of University Mall, while Lab facilities are located at the end and back of the building in a more controlled and protected environment.

San Jose, CA
Concept Design for new Vocational Technology Building. Conceived to read as one building, industrial in character, bisected by a diagonal path connected to an established pedestrian way on campus.
At the core of the building a courtyard, engaged by this pathway, that becomes the communal heart of the facility. On one side of the courtyard are two floors of classrooms, on the other side are the shop facilities which enjoy high ceilings and generous daylighting. Joining both parts of the facility and heightening the experience of the pedestrian way, is a shade structure, light and delicate in scale and texture.
