PIMA MEDICAL INSTITUTE TUCSON, ARIZONA Within Studio served as interior design lead for Pima Medical Institute’s new flagship campus, a 50,000 sq. ft. adaptive reuse project that transformed the former Townsend Middle School into a state-of-the-art medical career college.

Organized around a 25,000 sq. ft. central courtyard, the building preserves its original Tucson Unified School District exterior while introducing a fully remodeled interior with a collegiate look and feel. The project consolidated six Tucson-area campuses and relocated 136 employees to a single site, streamlining operations and enhancing student experience.
