DYAD INSTITUTE The concept stems from the idea of biomorphism. Being a marine laboratory, it seemed fitting to have a building to have the building take the form of an aquatic animal. Inspired by the form of the manta ray, this buildings canopy stretches over into Lake Michigan.

TAMPA OUTPATIENT HEALTH CENTER
Phase 1 consists of the initial design and 400 parking spaces. There is a patient drop off located at the south east entrance while the access to the emergency drop off is located to the West of the Site. Phase 1 consists of many green and garden spaces, designed to promote healing and wellness. Phase 2, along with everything that makes up Phase 1, consists of 2 parking garages both containing an additional 400 parking spaces each, located at the west and north west. There is also a building designed to consist the same program as the building in phase 1. The garden space of phase 2 becomes a water feature, the pond located at the north of the site.

The ground floor consists of the lobby that extends across both wings that has public access from the south east. In the north wing exiting the lobby is the laboratory and the emergency room. The emergency room contains 23 exam rooms, 2 trauma bays, 1 buriatric room, 2 nursing stations, a waiting room and a staff lounge. In the south wing there is the pharmacy, the cafe and education (which consists of 8 classrooms and 2 meeting rooms). The south wing’s ground floor is located near the street because those 3 needs to be easily accessible by the public
THIRD FLOOR
The second floor consist of Imaging, a waiting area and outpatient surgery. While imaging would ideally be located on the ground floor next to the emergency department, the design of the building did not permit this without compromising its form, so it was placed directly above it. The imaging department consists of an MRI, CT scanning, and male and female waiting areas. In the south wing is the outpatient surgery which consists of 4 operating rooms and the staff lounge and locker rooms.
FOURTH FLOOR The third floor consists of oupatient recovery, outpatient surgery and a public waiting area. Outpatient recovery, located in the north wing, consists of the PACU (Post-Anesthesia Care Unit), and 20 prep and recovery room. Outpatient surgery, located in the south wing, directly above the outpatient surgery on the second floor, consists of 4 operating rooms, 2 endoscopy suites, and clean, soiled and equipment storage.
FIFTH FLOOR The fourth floor is only in the north wing and is reserved for primary and specialty care, reserved strictly for appointments and and consults. It was designed as leasable space for doctors with small practices. The fifth floor is the exact same as the fourth floor, only in the north wing and reserved for primary and specialty care.
