“In life, the issue is not control, but dynamic

connectedness.” Eric Jantsch

Design in the digital age doesn’t occur in simple phases, construction

of many projects starts before the design is complete and the value

proposition is more important than ever.

We must think in terms of relationships, not individual actions

We must think in terms of networks, not boxes.

We must explain ideas with metrics, not intuition alone.

We must connect today’s ideas with the possibilities of the future.

The LifeStructures Approach…

CREATE...encompassing all actions and activities associated with

finding, planning, acquiring and developing solutions with fully

developed schedules and budgets to enable good decisions.

CONTROL...continually addressing the challenges of cost and

schedule management as contract documents are completed.

COMMUNICATE… the design meets the marketplace, including

bidding, construction, administration, and the transition into the

new environment.

A LifeStructure is more than a building or a place; it’s an attitude

about what people do, how they do it, and how they wish they could

do it. It is intuitive and adaptable.

A LifeStructure is more than an attitude; it’s a process of reducing the

burden on the individual and contributes measurably to enhanced

efficiency, productivity and satisfaction.

A LifeStructure is more than a process; it summons people to achieve

higher and higher aspirations…in healing, learning or discovery.

Stated simply…A LifeStructure improves lives!

Create, Control , Communicate

Thomas Moser, the fine wood furniture designer/ craftsman,

makes the observation that all architecture and furnishings have

historical antecedents, and that the best design is incremental,

constructed upon the accumulated wisdom of legions of designers

and builders who have come before.

The work of our firm is centered on searching for, and making

connections. We relish the discovery phase - growing to under-

stand the site, the program, the nature and spirit of our

client. Early in each project, common goals are established and

patterns are determined that not only reflect the functional

criteria by which the project will be measured, but also the role

of the project within its setting and developmental timeline.

We strive to achieve clarity - strength of purpose. Our process

revolves around analysis of key elements:

~ Movement: interaction of people, vehicles, services and systems

~ Space: proportion, function and light

~ Form: massing, meaning

~ Materials: technology, performance, longevity

These elements are malleable. We push, pull and adjust them to

create connections - cultural building blocks that are not isolated

events but part of a richer and more rewarding collective effort.

First Floor

Second Floor

Designed to support the patient and the caregiver and

to serve as a gateway building for a new medical cam-

pus, The Hansen Center needed to play multiple roles.

It is organ ized into two levels, separating the first

floor cancer center from the second floor clinics - each

with a distinct entry. This separation acknowledges the

sensitivities and fears of patients and family during the

stressful treatment phase.

The Hansen Center

To lessen anxiety, the center is rendered in a

textural brown sandstone exterior with highlights

of wood, metal and glass. The interior is an informal

collection of diverse spaces. Materials include the

sandstone, textured Venetian plaster, recycled glass

tiles and inviting furnishings. Floating wood ceilings

and curved corridors enhance the restorative and

non-clinical feel of the environment.

The exterior is modulated in a series of subtle, interlocked

rectangles that speak to the grids of the surrounding countryside.

Shade and shadow are accentuated by the building’s detailing.

This extensive addition and renovation to the

Lakeland campus in St. Joseph, Michigan draws

from the character of the community to create a

holistic medical campus.

Visioning sessions with a broad-based group of

community members led to key images and concepts

that shaped the design. The natural topography,

agriculture history and connection to Lake Michigan

informed the exterior campus planning and land-

scape design, the building form and envelope, and

interiors. The goal is to capture the spirit of the

community in an environment devoted to healing

and wellness.

The site focuses on the concept of interpreting dune, orchard

and transition within the entry sequence.

The building respects the proportions of the existing structure

while weaving in a new entry canopy/receiving space and a new

four-story patient pavilion. The plan diagram is a pin-wheel

that allows for multiple views to the exterior along

circulation paths to aid with way finding.

Each arm of the patient tower is distinct in character and ties

to a related exterior space. The goal is to create a seamless

experience that treats patients, family members, caregivers

and staff with equal regard.

Located on the near north side of Chicago, the campus

deals with a host of urban issues: the movement of

pedestrians and vehicles; wayfinding within a dense built

environment; adjacent development of varied scales,

ranging from single family residential to mid-rise

commercial; a neighboring city park bordering the

Chicago River with historic structures; and demanding

infrastructure concerns.

Planning issues included:

~ highest and best use of available property

~ relationship to the community

~ balance of spaces and programs

~ age of facilities

The plan resulted in a multi-phase approach to revitalizing

the campus in this vibrant Chicago district.

Planning services included:

~ strategic facility plan

~ site and facility master plan

~ development options

~ bedded care analysis

~ assessment of existing facilities

~ projected cost and phasing strategy

The 160-bed acute care facility will provide all private patient rooms that

support the entire care team of patient, medical staff and family. Four

nursing units will encompass the spectrum of care.

The emergency department is designed to handle 34,000 annual visits.

Patient, family, and staff interactions are enhanced by carefully crafting

movement and space adjacencies.

Mount Vernon has a long history of supporting the arts.

The building design draws from the energy and vibrancy of

the community. An active mix of stone, precast and glass

shape the campus character. The non-institutional spirit

of the project and campus-like layout lessen the scale and

impact of a large, connected project. Landscaping is

integral to the design and draws from regional traditions.

Hendricks Regional Health undertook the development of a

strategic plan to address changes within its defined market

and to serve as a road map for new facility decisions.

BSA LifeStructures used model projections of population

growth in primary and secondary service areas to establish

required bed scenarios. This work also helped prioritize

facility improvements and expansions.

Planning services provided:

~ bedded care need analysis

~ utilization review and capacity analysis

~ strategic facility plan

~ program of requirements

~ developed benchmarks for national guidelines

~ prepared market projections

One result: the design and construction of a new emergency department

connected to additional private beds and a relocated helipad. The addi-

tion links to existing space by a bridge, and fronts onto a public plaza.

The planning process involved working closely with the board and

administrative staff. Upon the plan’s adoption, Dennis Dawes, FACHE,

President, Hendricks Regional Health stated, “Our mission is about

providing healthcare in a compassionate, technologically advanced and

efficient environment. The improvements to our campus help create

that environment.”

A major patient bed tower addition adjacent to the recently completed Heart Center

consolidates and strengthens services at the Indianapolis Campus. Serving a rapidly

growing region, the expanded campus allows St. Francis to continue fulfilling its

mission to serve.

By preserving a fast-track outpatient experience, creating a healing environment and

focusing on family, the design is expected to improve patient satisfaction. The layout

enhances way finding, minimizes staff distances and creates separate entries

for patients and staff. By fully supporting their daily activities, the

design is intended to improve staff morale and enhance

recruitment and retention.

Charleston Area Medical Center is West Virginia’s

largest medical center with more than 5,000 employees

and 913 licensed beds in three hospitals within four miles

of each other.

BSA LifeStructures was commissioned to plan the consolidation of 1.5 million

square feet of services on one campus. Consolidating services spread among

three hospitals and an additional 15 facilities optimizes functional adjacencies

and eliminates redundancies.

The planning process revealed that the Memorial campus, located in the

Kanawha River area of Charleston, offers the best opportunities for future

growth. The campus is co-located with the prestigious West Virginia University

Health Sciences Center which houses their schools of medicine, dentistry,

nursing and pharmacy.

57

Acute Care Consol idation and Master Plan

Together with the CAMC leadership team, BSA LifeStructures developed

a long-term plan for the implementation of the consolidated campus.

The planning process incorporated the hospital’s strategic plan, meet-

ings with campus stakeholders and a series of facilities and service line

assessments. The result includes the identification of short-, mid-, and

long-term capital projects, including those that enable the transfer of

services to the Memorial campus.

The Bradford pavilion has replaced surgeries in a 140,000 square-foot

expansion to the main Memorial Campus. A joint project with the West

Virginia School of Medicine, a new Clinical Teaching Center provides

training for healthcare professionals and improved medical

services for West Virginians.

space usage and worked to improve the efficiency of the

church programs. A major north-side addition accommo-

dates growth and improves the way the building functions.

The addition includes a three-story entry atrium, 100 per-

son choir room, youth areas and gathering/multi-purpose

space. Renovated areas include enlarged library and mission

spaces. All work draws from the historic gothic architecture.

The original structure was completed in three phases from

1956 to 1988. True to the spirit of Second Presbyterian,

the addition is clad in limestone, clay tile and lead coated

copper detailing. The work forms a seamless addition and a

powerful entry statement from the main parking area. In the

Architects and engineers as students and investigators

The buildings on the Indiana University School

of Medicine campus are expressions of what we

have learned from the scientific researcher. We’ve

learned much about optimal workflow in a lab,

about modularity, and about how to manage

the tension between common areas and private

enclaves to support both collaboration and soli-

tude. We’ve developed a deep expertise on how a

structure can best support a multitude of systems

within rigorous code environments. And, like the

researchers we’ve served, BSA LifeStructures has

brought an inquisitive and open mind to every

assignment.

88

A core BSA LifeStructures ethic is articulated

elegantly on the Indiana University School of

Medicine campus: relationships are the foun-

dations of successful environments. Working

The existing campus is comprised of mid to late 20th

century limestone structures. They vary from textural,

multi-faceted forms to austere, scale-less new additions.

The new science building is situated to terminate a

diagonal path that binds the campus and creates an

enclosed quad in scale with other spaces formed on

west and elevated people mover system to the south,

this project was charged with creating an appropriate

response to a city edge. The new basin terminates the

canal development work just to the south of 11th Street.

The lab consolidation project, private by program, has

a civic responsibility to act as the headpiece to the

canal axis. In turn, the building offers stunning views

from upper levels stretching to the south and of the

Indianapolis skyline.

The lab floors are situated on a three-story parking

structure, which serves as a base and brings the occupied

floors to the level of the People Mover tracks. The new

automated system transports public and staff between

the 16th Street Methodist campus and the Clinical Lab,

then on to the campus of the Indiana University School

also allowing more natural light to enter labs and offices.

Intending to form a seamless addition to the original form, the

design celebrates the collegiate gothic campus language, its

expressiveness and diversity.

Biotechnology Research and Training Center

The Biotechnology Research and Training Center is an

82,000-square-foot laboratory facility designed to accommo-

date new research programs for the Indiana University School

of Medicine. Located at 16th and Stadium Drive, this building

represents a northward expansion of the Indiana University-

Purdue University Indianapolis medical campus.

Biotechnology Research and Training Center

In the 1980s, when the medical campus began its current

expansion, the Indiana University School of Medicine set a

goal that it be unified by a common architectural vocabu-

lary of red brick, limestone trim and pitched roofs, and

scaled to a predominantly pedestrian campus. One goal of

BRTC is to maintain the unity of the medical campus archi-

tecture as the campus expands northward while responding

to the more industrial and non-pedestrian character of the

surrounding neighborhood.

The planning of BRTC is based on modular laboratories

that are both generic and adaptable. The use of modular

laboratories provides the School of Medicine the needed

flexibility for its ever-changing research programs. The

primary research currently being conducted in this facil-

ity is genomic and proteomic research associated with the

Indiana Genomic Initiative.

131

Indiana Univers ity School of Medicine

The building is formed by two blocks of labs that are

offset to respond to the inflection of 16th Street. The

metal-clad penthouse emerges as a glass entry form on

the street side. The three-story lab blocks are powerful

brick and stone wrapped linear forms that respond to

the urban character of the surrounding neighborhood.

They offer a dynamic sense of movement and direction

that connects to the history of action that is the life-

blood of 16th Street; from Bush Stadium next door to

the Indianapolis Motor Speedway further to the west. By

introducing a design that houses new technology and

discovery, this historic roadway is strengthened and given

added importance as the community re-invents itself and

moves into the future.

134

Research Complex

Phase III of the Research Complex, a 240,000 square-foot addi-

tion, completes the multi-phase project that began with Cancer

Research to the west and Research II to the east. The entire

unified complex houses 500,000 square-feet of research space.

The central component links the two wings, and is served by the

People Mover station. The elevated track terminates at the IU

station with a pedestrian bridge continuing on to Riley Hospital.

The People Mover system connects the Methodist Hospital 16th

Street campus, the Clarian Pathology Laboratory on 11th Street at

the head of the canal and the medical campus.

In phase III, the building is six levels with half of the space

devoted to cancer research. The remainder includes a gene

vector facility, cell repository facility, and an expansion of the

Stark Neuroscience Research Institute.

136

The building is organized on the compact site as a “cube” of

space. Modular labs form three blocks in a “U” shape that allows

the south center portion of the building to be hollowed out into

gathering space that provides support for an auditorium. This area

catches light and serves as the heart of the research campus. The

gathering space is at the second level and relates to the People

Mover connection–a primary access point for researchers approach-

ing the facility from remote parking locations. The taller portion

of the building is held to the north–a response to the larger scale

Wishard Hospital complex.

The building character is consistent with the brick gabled forms

that are the hallmark of the School of Medicine precinct. Strong

masonry, metal and glass forms are interwoven to create a project

that feels as if it has always existed as a foundation for the area.

AMPATH Center

The AMPATH Centre in Eldoret, Kenya is dedicated

to the care of HIV-infected patients. The conceptual

design represents a “walled village” with clinics and

an enclosed courtyard on the first level and research

facilities on the second level.

141

Indiana Univers ity School of Medicine / Moi Univers ity

“The building is the cornerstone of this comprehensive response to the HIV

scourge,” said Robert Einterz, MD, Director of the Indiana University-Moi

University Partnership. “The building provides the space that we need to

expand our teaching, research and care missions. For the first time, Kenya will

have the capacity to care for thousands of HIV-infected people in an environ-

ment that will enable the training of a generation of medical doctors, nurses,

public health workers and other healthcare professionals. As important, the

new building will enable some of America’s best researchers to team with their

Kenyan counterparts to find solutions to Africa’s HIV pandemic.”

142

AMPATH Centre

“T he process of developing a design for the building was a challenge,

requiring communication across cultures and continents and multiple

iterations of the initial design,” said Einterz.

The primary metaphor overlaying the concept, the “walled village,”

represents the common goal of eliminating disease. The walls signify

protection from both disease and mistreatment. The openness inside

the walls represents the kindness of the caregivers. The clinic’s design

includes thin, narrow forms and pitched roofs. Operable windows and

high roof vents encourage natural ventilation and allow natural light

to enter the rear of the complex.

143

Indiana Univers ity School of Medicine / Moi Univers ity

The first level of the 44,500 square-foot

facility is public–designed for patients.

The second level is private–designed for

researchers. An open-air courtyard pro-

tected by the facility walls allows patients,

caregivers and researchers to take advan-

tage of Eldoret’s idyllic climate. The city’s

7,000-foot elevation above sea level

provides relief from the equatorial heat.

The typical patient care model includes a

waiting area, exam rooms, charting/work

room, assessment/vital signs, research

assistant work area and patient and staff

restrooms.

The new Ivy Tech campus serves as a gateway to Marion, Indiana.

Hard hit by the shift away from a traditional manufacturing-based

economy, the region is aggressively working to educate both tradi-

tional and non-traditional students to meet the needs of emerging

industries and businesses.

The 49-acre site is a former farm field along an

interstate–in central Indiana. The planning of the

campus draws from the subtle strengths of the

land. The site gently slopes from north to south to

a natural wetland. A tree line forms the far south

boundary of the site, offering a distant view that

will change through the seasons.

The building is somewhat mysterious as approached from the north, and

parking is relegated to the north and west side. The long east/west orientation

takes advantage of south light and divides the site into parking and natural

areas. Wetland and woods beyond are concealed from the initial approach by

the building mass.

The north face is reasonably opaque but is broken by a large glass wall with

the main entry. Walking in, the circular library serves as the signature form

lit by clerestories. It is surrounded by gathering spaces for small groups

and individuals, creating a sense of home for the students and serving

as a lively forum for discussions. This central hub encourages student/

faculty interaction.

This new community college houses general classrooms and distance

learning spaces, specialized labs for chemistry and biology, a library,

offices, gathering and support spaces. In addition to traditional aca-

demic functions, the city supported the integration of a multi-use con-

ference and education center to be used by the community.

156

The gathering space to the south of the library is a two-story, light-filled

atrium with views to the wetland and trees beyond–a discovered scene. Terraces

at the gathering space and the education center serve as breakout rooms during

good weather. A free-standing trellis provides shade and shadow to the terrace.

Its lightness serves as counterpoint to the weight of the building.

The college is clad in an energetic mix of modest materials: masonry, glass

and synthetic stucco. The multi-use conference space has its own entry and

is inflected–clearly distinct from the main form–highlighting its use by the

broader community. With no precedents to draw from, the building is rendered

as a modern collection of clean forms.

Several town hall meetings with stakeholders resulted in

a core concept that shaped the building design: cancer

patient care utilizing multidisciplinary clinic modules.

Patients don’t have to move, their treatment can

take place within a single exam/treatment

module. This strategy increases

efficiency and patient safety.

Formed tightly around a linear, light-filled

organizing spine, spaces collect into neighborhoods.

The building geometry of rectangle intersecting circle

creates hierarchy and greater opportunity for views on

this urban corner site.

The interlocking forms are expressed through a mixture of masonry and

glass curtain wall. More solid brick blocks are placed along the outer edges

to engage the campus- more exuberant glazed elements in the center-

along the main movement path.

The building character references its larger-scaled campus neighbors,

but its expressed vitality and key location gives it a place of promi-

nence beyond its physical stature.

Providing space for treatment and

research, the facility is key to

recruiting staff and specialized

cancer experts. Locating func-

tions that were distributed

among several facilities,

the project serves as a

gateway and iconic struc-

ture at the front door of

arboretum. The nationally ranked business program

gains a variety of educational spaces designed to aid

in collaborative and team-based learning. The class-

rooms vary in size and character, allowing for flexibil-

ity in programming and scheduling.

Designed to serve as the home for the undergraduate

program, the project consists of an addition wrapping

the corner of the existing building and major renova-

tions, including infrastructure system upgrades to the

original building.

The building draws from the historic architecture of

the original business school–Woodburn Hall–completed

in a stylized collegiate gothic language. Indiana lime-

stone is shaped to create a combination of gabled

forms, a tower, projecting bays and a lower scaled

entry. The design significantly enhances the physical

presence of the School of Business and supports the

master plan within the core Bloomington campus. Undergraduate School
