The New College of Pharmacy Building
Location:
The University of Tennessee, Memphis Campus
Research Project
Design:
2004
Design Team:
- Edgar Stach
- Jeff Chermely
- Jonathen Reynolds
The Atrium:
Central to the building is the atrium, which generates an eight story void. Three wintergardens and the two-storey lobby generate lively, green ‘windows’, which are not only perceived as attractive eye-catchers by night and day, but which also create a comfortable atmosphere within, for the users of the building.
The Facade
For climatic reasons, the building is contained within a glass facade with operable windows. The offices are located at the west wing of the building with a floor to ceiling facade, or to the wintergardens and atrium. This enables a considerable degree of natural ventilation within the offices, the goal is to reduce the heating and ventilation costs within the New College of Pharmacy building in comparison to conventional buildings.
