Prominently located on Trent Drive near Duke Clinic and Duke Hospital, the new, three-story School of Nursing earned Silver LEED® certification. With nearly 60,000 square feet of space, Phase I of the facility houses classrooms, labs, administrative spaces, and an auditorium for the School of Nursing. Phase II includes a new, four-story 15,500-square-foot addition, which houses the distance learning program and research facilities.
The main atrium in the building is a three-story space constructed of wood glue laminated columns and beams with a unique curtain wall system constructed with wood mullions.
Civil design work included an off-site sanitary sewer extension, underground pipe storage for stormwater rate control, and hydrodynamic separator units for stormwater quality treatment, as needed for LEED certification. The project also included water main extension and erosion control.
