The Midtown Professional Education Center for Weill Cornell Medicine provides a multi-functional learning environment on the 9th and 10th floors of an 80-year-old landmark building in Midtown Manhattan. The space functions on three levels: as a full-time Monday through Friday 9-5 medical education learning environment, a night and weekend post grad Executive Business Education Center, and a University leadership meeting and retreat space.
Access to views, natural light, natural materials and vegetation all help foster an inviting, healthy environment. To create an open and expansive feel, circulation paths were designed to provide long views directed at glazed interior walls or exterior windows. Program spaces included classrooms, offices, training rooms, conference rooms, and meeting and event spaces. An interconnecting stair creates a link between students and faculty and encourages movement over taking the elevator.
