Architects and designers working on SIUEâs new health sciences building hope to limit its carbon footprint and give students in the healthcare programs a head start in real-world applications.
On Jan. 14, the Illinois Capital Development Board announced they had selected architectural design firm HOK-St. Louis to move forward on the new Health Sciences Building project. The project was estimated at approximately $105 million in the 2019 Capitol Bill as part of Gov. J. B. Pritzkerâs Rebuild Illinois plan.
Craig Holan, director of Facilities Management, said HOK will assist the design of this building by creating a bridging document. The bridging document identifies the schoolâs needs and vision for the building, how they might be met and a cost estimate but leaves the creativity up to the builders. They will also consider the facilityâs placement and how it will integrate with the buildings next to the proposed site near Research Drive.
