Healthcare 1 2 3 4 5 The Learning and Knowledge Center Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA Size: 120,000 square feet Completion: Mid-2010 (first phase) Architect: NBBJ, San Francisco Medical equipment planning, information technology, multimedia, building security, acoustics: Shen Milsom & Wilke, San Francisco The new centerpiece of the Stanford School of Medicine, The Learning and Knowledge Center aims to transform the way medicine is taught and practiced. Its high-tech facilities are designed to encourage breakthroughs in information and imaging technologies. Working closely with NBBJ and Stanford’s IT department, Shen Milsom & Wilke is addressing the technology requirements for the new Center. The objective is to integrate technology and make it easily available, work with medical technology vendors to evaluate system capabilities to ensure interoperability, and coordinate infrastructure requirements for the entire facility. Shen Milsom & Wilke is also planning and specifying medical equipment for the Learning and Knowledge Center’s Immersive Learning Center, a simulation space to give students hands-on clinical, procedural, cognitive, and interpersonal-skills training. Multimedia design will provide distance learning, video capture and playback capabilities for all classrooms and lecture spaces, recording and editing of standardized patient exercises, and easy-to-use controls for all technology. Acoustic work includes extensive testing and isolation to minimize vibration across the site. Shen Milsom & Wilke is also ensuring that different spaces can coexist in a single building, providing confidentiality in the dean’s office, isolating sound from the 375-person conference center, and minimizing disturbances from the student fitness center. Interior acoustics ensure intelligibility within the Learning and Knowledge Center’s instructional spaces—especially important when classes are recorded. Security consulting work includes identifying and securing potential vulnerabilities and points of access control for the new building. |
