Integrating
education, patient care and research is the goal of the
Clinical Research Building at the University of Miami’s
Jackson Memorial Hospital Campus. Each of the 15 floors
includes a reception area, a library, large and small
conference rooms, and offices for senior faculty. The
building is home to many innovative programs including
the world-renowned Center for Research in Medical Education
which provides training for emergency medical personnel
around the globe. The building's two-level Wellness Center
is an exercise area that opens into an atrium and features
state-of-the-art equipment, a reception area, food court,
a floating stairway to the second floor and a wall of
windows overlooking Miami. Energy efficiency, water efficiency,
and indoor air quality were key goals in the design of
the mechanical and electrical systems. Under-floor air
distribution allows for easy access to the HVAC, electrical,
electronic and plumbing utility systems; under-floor air
ventilation helps reduce fan energy; and high-performance,
window glazing helps lessen the HVAC load.The building
is registered with the U.S. Green Building Council for
LEED®-NC v2.2. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design.
