Yale University School of Medicine Building Envelope Rehabilitations New Haven, Connecticut Yale School of Medicine is one of the most advanced and prestigious medical colleges in the coun- try. Beginning in 1983, Hoffmann Architects completed over twenty projects at the medical and educational complex. Anthony N. Brady Memorial Laboratory. When Dean George Blumer elected in 1913 to make New Haven Hospital the affiliate of the medical college, he also commissioned, with a gift from the Brady Foundation, a new building for clinical laboratory work. Hoffmann Architects designed rehabilitation of the entrance staircase at the medical research facility, and we performed a structural study of the pedestrian bridges. Sterling Hall of Medicine. The first of a series of buildings constructed in the 1920s that significantly expanded the medical school, Sterling became home to the anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and toxicology departments, as well as the medical library. Yale School of Medicine retained Hoffmann Architects to investigate sources of water infiltration and to develop exterior envelope upgrades at Sterling’s I Wing. Our architects provided design, bid- ding, and construction administration services for the rehabilitation, which included asbestos abatement, concrete reconstruction, masonry restoration and repointing, limestone repair, and steel window restoration. Farnham Memorial Building. Constructed of a combination of masonry bearing walls and exterior face brick with masonry back-up, the Farnham Memorial Building (FMB) showed signs of deterio- ration at its aging facades. Hoffmann Architects conducted a survey to determine the extent and nature of masonry distress, and we designed and oversaw a rehabilitation program to clean, secure, and, where necessary, rebuild deteriorated brick. Restoration also included window replacement, concrete window sill repair, and exterior door replacement. Laboratory of Epidemiology and Public Health (LEPH). Designed by in- fluential architect Philip Johnson and completed in the early 1960s, LEPH serves as the primary research and educational facility for the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health. Hoffmann Architects conducted a facade survey and masonry investigation, and we designed and administered a roof replacement project at the architecturally significant laboratory tower. Harris Building. Designed by Centerbrook Architects and completed in 1998, the Harris Building is a six-story octagonal structure that houses the Yale Child Study Center, a leading child development research facility. Since the building’s completion, falling snow and ice were problematic at the steeply sloped, metal-clad mansard roof. Hoffmann Architects designed a new cornice ledge snow protec- tion system to resolve the problem. When Yale University School of Medicine was established in 1810, medical education was not the systematic process it is today. One of the first institutes devoted to the formal training of physicians, Yale School of Medicine grew in influence as it grew in size. Beginning in the early 1900s, the medical college expanded its research and training programs with the addition of each new building. Through the diagnosis and resolution of building envelope ailments at these diverse structures, Hoffmann Architects is pleased to have contributed to the health and longevity of this noteworthy institution.
