Ohio University recently completed a multiphase expansion and renovation project, which included constructing a 72,000-square-foot new Chemistry Building and renovating the existing Clippinger Laboratories building. Flad Architects collaborated with architect of record BHDP on all phases of the project. Cory Klein Cory Klein Originally constructed in 1965, the existing Clippinger Laboratories building housed the Departments of Chemistry & Biochemistry, Geography, Geological Sciences, and Physics & Astronomy. In recent years it had outlived its original life expectancy. The university needed new and updated space to accommodate enrollment growth and the equipment required to invest in innovative research.

The restoration and refurbishment of a late 19th century church hall in Dalston to provide a design education centre for the most accessible architecture school in the UK, the London School of Architecture.  Jim Stephenson Jim Stephenson Jim Stephenson Working within a tight budget, IDK designed an affordable scheme to convert a church hall in disrepair into a design education centre for the London School of Architecture.  Jim Stephenson Jim Stephenson Resources were channelled to where absolutely necessary, with the layers of previous piecemeal additions stripped out to return the building to a sense of its former self. This created the necessary spaces for a super flexible community institution. The Lo... Más

Protecting, respecting and enhancing the Rideau Canal and River is a fundamental municipal, provincial and national priority. The Carleton University Campus is quite literally framed by these two waterways – the Canal along the east and north edges, and the River to the south. The new campus master plan calls for all buildings on campus to act as paths between these natural landscapes and vessels that frame and highlight views outward. Directly on the waterfront, the 143,000 SF Richcraft Hall (formerly River Building) does just that.

Contemporary universities are undergoing a profound transformation: learning methods and knowledge sharing models are evolving, research institutions and disciplines are renewing, students’ lifestyle and social environments are changing. All these factors raise new opportunities for campus planning and design. Building an innovative campus that will train future industry leaders, in the site where Guangming New City connects to its ecological protection area, in Shenzhen, the core of innovation and pioneering enterprises, is an exciting challenge. © reMIX Studio © reMIX Studio The site is located between a sensitive ecological zone and the upcoming Guangming Tech City. The water runoff is reorganized into a series... Más

Graphic Facade and Thermal Barrier The Ecole Polytechnique extension adds two research buildings (biology and mechanical physics) to the buildings designed in 1967 by Henri Pottier. To intervene on the work of his predecessor, Michel Rémon did not stop at its functionalities. On the west side, he added a new front to the existing building. The new face of the school looks toward the town. This noble, urban, and even spectacular façade measures up to the spacious green area around it and is in harmony with the scale of the new neighborhood which is its home. As the first step in continuing architectural development, this first sixty-meter building fits in the context of an environmental approach. Mathieu Ducros With a d... Más

Urban Layouts and Cosmic Geometry Architects : Michel Rémon & Associés and Albert Longo The placement of the new École Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Métiers follows, with “urban character” the line of the South Technnopôle center of Metz. In collaboration with landscape architect Jacques Coulon, Michel Rémon designed the ground plan for the complex of buildings around this oblique axis, reinforcing the Technopôle master plan and being positioned on the same horizontal level: "The entire landscape is part of our project. The change to the piece of countryside around the site is at the heart of our architectural thinking." Jean-Marie Monthiers Cardinal PointsThe... Más

The Field of Knowledge In his statement of intent, Michel Rémon described the site of the university of law, languages and economy at Cergy by creating a unifying "vacuum": the "field". As is often the case, the spatial designer preceded the architect: "Because this university was meant to be a key element of urban character in the new city of Cergy, I first created the empty space around which the building is anchored. Around the campus – etymologically, the "field" – its U shape found its place. Crossed and re-crossed by students, the large central "lawn" now offers a piece of sky to anyone who rests there for a moment stretched out on the grass."To the west of the existing university buildings, 25,000 m2 of cement; t...

The Enclosure as a Legible Perimeter Facing surroundings that were not very "urban", between a warehouse and an expressway – this university program imposed on the architect a complexity that he described enthusiastically as "marvelous". Jean-Marie Monthiers et Anne-Claude Barbier In a city with very different architectural patterns, Michel Rémon faithfully followed the line of a structuring boulevard and its beautiful alignment of plane trees to imagine design a small agora of law, open to the city on the east side. The visitor’s eye is drawn, right from the entrance, to a clash of volumes: the campus shows its studious aspect in two opposing profiles. Two giant amphitheaters set into the ground contrast with a tw... Más

Cosmic Position "The project? An idea forged by its context," summarizes Michel Rémon. It was in this spirit that he made the media library of the National Institute for Applied Sciences in Lyon, a landmark for the La Doua university campus. It thus became the "gateway" to the vast scientific domain it is part of. Anne-Claude Barbier A rallying point at the intersection of streets along the tramway line, the new building is located within the orthogonal grid laid out by Jacques Perrin-Fayolle a few decades earlier. The functional hierarchy organizes the parallelepipedal construction into three bays within the north-south depth of the building. Anne-Claude Barbier This layout guarantees short distances between each eleme... Más

EXISTING SITE On August 23, 1976, the Saint-Luc University Clinics welcomed their first patients.A building typical of hospital architecture from the 1970s, it consists of a 9-storey hospital tower set on a 4-storey infrastructure.Each floor is divided into four care units, twinned for hotel and medical distribution services. The basic infrastructure houses the operating room, the intensive care unit, the pharmacy, medical-technical diagnostic and treatment services, and general services (central administration, kitchen, medical records). Level 00 corresponds to the roof level of the plinth on which the entrance pavilion is placed.The rest of the slab is occupied by parking lots.In addition to the hospital, the Faculty of Medicine of the...
