In the heart of Lafayette College, the five-story, 104,000-sq-ft academic science and laboratory building’s hillside site sits atop a subsurface rock vein. 

Envisioned by architect Steven Holl as a “pavilion on the park,” the new Winter Visual Arts Center rises four stories to meet the canopy of neighboring old-growth, large-diameter trees on the campus of Franklin & Marshall College.

Built on the rocky site of Inova Loudoun Hospital’s Leesburg, Va., campus, excavation for the nine-story, 385,000-sq-ft bed tower required extensive blasting.

The 50,000-sq-ft renovation for Amicus Therapeutics spanned two floors of the company’s Global Research and Gene Therapy Center for Excellence and included laboratories, offices, common space and a unique interconnecting staircase.

The $288-million multiphase expansion provides needed space for the hospital and flexibility to incorporate continuing advancements in medical technology and services.
