The issues of this project were ones of connection.  The design problem turned on connecting two stories of new Primary Care space in essentially a freestanding building with two in filled shell floors atop an existing adjacent 2-floor Cancer Center.  The site design sought to connect the building's pedestrian approaches with a healing garden shared with the cancer center and with adjacent University Horticultural Gardens.

On the campus level,, the project needed to incorporate the signature campus brick (at the behest of the President of the University of Florida), while relating to the existing precast/granite clad building. The design for the shell vertical expansion was established and approved with the initial construction, and was built as designed 8 years later.
