ASSESSMENT OF SPACE NEEDS

STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT BUFFALO | BUFFALO, NEW YORK

Perkins Eastman developed a programming and planning study as part of a facilities master plan to address longstanding issues that hinder the School’s ability to function as an effective dental school.

The School of Dental Medicine (SDM) is located on the South Campus and is primarily housed in two buildings — Squire Hall and Foster Hall. The objective of the project calls for a comprehensive planning, programming, and infrastructure assessment study that provides the SDM and University of Buffalo with a comprehensive overview of the capital and renovation projects required for Squire and Foster Halls to accommodate the future needs of the school.

SIM Rooms & SIM Control Rooms

The UCSF School of Dentistry is one of the top oral and craniofacial research enterprises in the world, ranked the top dental school in the country in research funding from the National Institutes of Health for 25 years, and home to several leading translational research programs.

The University of California, San Francisco partnered with Perkins Eastman for a 20-year Comprehensive Parnassus Heights Plan. Parnassus houses UCSF’s health sciences and professional schools, including the School of Dentistry (SoD) with its patient-facing teaching clinic. The current clinic is inadequate and requires modernization and additional support spaces such as “huddle rooms.” The study recommends a new clinic situated close to study resources and classrooms, on the clinical east side of the Parnassus Heights campus site.

NYC Health + Hospitals: COVID Centers of Excellence Dental Clinics

Perkins Eastman worked with NYC Health and Hospitals/Gotham COVID Centers of Excellence (three neighborhood community sites), for a post-COVID long term recovery dental care suite, which was a critical factor in health maintenance for a post-COVID long hauler. Some of the design strategies to contain airborne particles was to provide low return grilles in the dental operatory rooms, to direct particles from oral exposure down to the floor in-stead of up to ceiling diffusers. HEPA filters were also provided in the ceilings to accommodate high efficiency air filtration at the supply diffusers. A panoramic x-ray room was also provided at each site, triggering shielding requirements with lead lining to separate the technician space from x-ray/patient space while providing appropriate access to controls. The operatories and x-ray room all required plumbed hand washing stations, in addition to meeting all other FGI requirements.
