University of Connecticut Pharmacy/Biology Building
Connecticut, USA
The development of the new School of Pharmacy complex with research facilities for the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) is part of the $2.3 billion “UConn 2000” campus modernization effort for this major state university. The project, which replaces the existing pharmacy school, provides new instructional and research space for UConn’s growing pharmacy programs.
The new facility connects with the existing biology facilities. The School of Pharmacy is an integral part of the university’s master plan, in which goals include the creation of major open spaces. It is the boundary of two new quadrangles – for Science and Biology. The entry to the building, in which the focal point is a three-story atrium, is on axis with the existing street. The atrium serves as a connection to the two quadrangles.
