"The design of this building at Brown University is centered on a holistic approach to wellness and well-being, which translates to literal ingredients for sustainable design. The building structure is a hybrid system of steel framing and CLT (cross-laminated timber) which is left exposed and provides building residents with natural wood ceilings. The new facility includes a clinical area with 20+ exam rooms, a counseling and psychological services department, an administrative suite, a radiology department, a laboratory, a pharmacy, a suite for the BWell program (health promotion center), and a student-led EMS department. On the upper floors, student bedrooms are organized in pod-style arrangements of single bedrooms, as well as several 4-person suites.
