SUNY Downstate HSEB Medical Library Renovation
Addressing the evolving needs of medical school students, faculty, and staff.
SUNY Downstate proposes to renovate portions of the Health Sciences Education Building (HSEB) including the library, instruction and study spaces, auditorium, lecture halls, main entrance and lobby on the basement and 1st through 3rd floors into an efficient, flexible, and technologically modern facility. HVAC systems will be updated with new equipment to serve these spaces with energy efficient systems tailored to the building’s programmatic needs, user comfort, well-being and SUNY’s building performance guidelines.
Designed with a student-centric focus, the project explores innovative concepts across four key study space categories: Circulate, Collborate, Concentrate, and Re-generate.

One of the most significant architectural interventions is enlarging the existing opening on the first floor located at the area of the former library elevator and stair.
