The 343,000 square foot building Marsico Hall and quadrangle is located on the UNC Hospital campus and replaced existing and disparate imaging buildings into one facility along with general laboratory, nanotechnology and vivarium space. The Master Plan and site design solved many challenges associated with the addition of a large building on a closely knit campus. The design establishes the building’s relationship to a newly formed quadrangle which must react to existing buildings and a prominent north-south pedestrian axis on campus. The site plan deals with stormwater, steam and chilled water lines, drainage, fire access and purge port issues.
