Cleveland State Health & Science Center

At Cleveland State Community College, the Health & Science Center is the first new classroom building on campus in 40 years. 

The exterior design takes cues from the other mid-century buildings on campus while incorporating modern and regional design elements like brick, metal panels, stone and wood accents. The articulation of forms, spaces and materials, both inside and out, lend a human scale. Common-sense stewardship is at the fore: water and energy efficiency, natural daylight access, and the use of recycled and regional materials.  

The Health & Science Center houses nursing, medical assisting, EMS/paramedic and other science and allied health programs. Our design team worked closely with faculty to consider their teaching methodologies, resulting in a design that includes a nursing simulation lab with six mock hospital patient rooms and a configurable multi-function space that can serve as a large lecture hall, multiple classrooms, or an event space.
