PROJECTS
STUDENT UNION
COLLEGE OF SOUTHERN NEVADA
The College of Southern Nevada (CSN) presented the design team with a unique challenge for the design of a prototypical student union building to be constructed on each of their three campuses simultaneously. Currently the students do not have a place where they can gather, study, work on group projects, relax and enjoy a meal, or simply have a place to spend time between classes.
PROJECT DETAILS Location: North Las Vegas, NV Completion: 2019 Size: 29,000 sf
KIRK KERKORIAN MEDICAL EDUCATION BUILDING
NEVADA HEALTH AND BIOSCIENCE CORPORATION
The Kirk Kerkorian Medical Education Building at UNLV is planned as the first building for a proposed 9-acre academic health center for UNLV, located in the heart of the Las Vegas Medical District. The facility, approximately 130,000 gross square feet, will serve as the permanent home of the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV, and is designed to accommodate a class size of 120 students. To support long term growth, the design allows for an expansion to increase the class size to 180 students with minimal disruption to the overall building. The program is designed to support the school’s forward-thinking approach to the curriculum and includes training spaces for clinical skills, simulation and anatomy - both virtual and cadaveric dissection - classrooms of various sizes which support problem-based learning, administrative offices, and a learning resources center. Community life spaces are also included, such as a cafe, a student lounge, and the forum, which is the heart of the building and will enable various events and lectures to be held at the school.

STUDENT UNION
UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA LAS VEGAS
The UNLV Student Union creates an environment where students can gather informally outside of the classroom, campus organizations can meet, events can be staged, and the public can visit. A major design challenge was to respond to the predominantly commuter based university population by creating an environment that attracts students to the campus and encourages their involvement in student life at UNLV.

USC TAPER HALL RENOVATION
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
This project had a tight schedule due to the limitations of the summer construction schedule on campus. Working with user groups and project managers, TSK administered a tightly regulated schedule to foster an efficient decision-making process. The result was a project on time and under budget. The program called for the conversion of classroom and computer lab space into numerous faculty offices for an expanding program in a ‘70s era facility. This design established the material/color palette for future phases of renovation.
