Health Science Building
Midlands Technical College
Columbia, SC
Completed
2001
Occupying the final development parcel on Midlands Technical College’s Airport campus, the Health Science Building forms a new southern edge and creates a gateway via an entrance courtyard facing major student parking areas on the perimeter. Its state-of-the-art teaching classrooms and labs are organized into three major blocks based on function, connected by a center spine that provides student interaction space, interior daylighting, and clear building circulation.
Major program elements include physics labs, microbiology labs, nursing simulation labs, specialty health science educational spaces, and a 90-seat auditorium. The exterior features materials and colors consistent with surrounding campus buildings, with the three program components expressed as separate masses.
