Fostering New Behavior
After transforming a former pizzeria into a multi-functional space that now serves as a medical library with touchdown and conference areas, Karp Commons has become the ideal location for a meeting of the minds—whether that be for collaboration or study. Flexible furniture and individual storage support the diverse needs of med students and staff as they come and go throughout the day.
Delivering Meaningful Change
Creating a reconfigurable common space that supports various activities makes this facility ‘future-proofed’ for its users, who range from students to board members. Frameless glass walls carry natural light throughout the facility to support well-being and maintain the high-end aesthetic that conveys the hospital’s brand.
