The design of the School of Nursing creates a dynamic identity on a beautifully wooded two-acre site that slopes gently from east to west. It consolidates the school’s programs into one location to meet current and projected needs and provides a stronger link to the Duke University Medical School Clinic and Medical Center. The design features a formal entry sequence and natural procession through the building. Sustainable strategies and building systems are implemented to maximize the user comfort and overall operational efficiencies.
