Project Details

Text Box: Harrison School of Pharmacy, Auburn University
Auburn, Alabama


45,000 s.f. addition; opened March, 2006; first phase of a $21M addition/renovation project.
This project is included to demonstrate our staff’s expertise in designing a project with many programmatic elements (administrative/departmental offices, public reception, assembly and meeting rooms, records storage/retrieval) similar to those found in a City Hall.  This project also illustrates our ability to design within the context of a campus master plan (similar to the Alabaster City Center master plan) and to design in accordance with the University’s Character and Image Guidelines (similar to the standards/patterns to be developed by TSW for the Alabaster project).

This project involved the partial demolition of a 1970’s brutalist-style building which was vastly different from the campus aesthetic mandated by the University’s master plan and aesthetic guidelines.  A new 45,000 s.f. addition was constructed in front of the original building, providing needed additional space, accommodating a modern pharmacy curriculum, and creating a new aesthetic which formed the centerpiece of the implementation of the Campus Master Plan and the Thach Avenue pedestrian district.

Tim Aho, CEO of Aho Architects was Project Manager and Architect of Record for the design phase of this project while he worked for another firm, GM&C, in association with Flad & Associates.
