86 City of Sunny Isles Beach New Facility Qualifications for Architectural Design Services <br />The Clinical Research Building at <br />the University of Miami Leonard M. <br />Miller School of Medicine is a high <br />rise complex comprised of three <br />components: 336,000 SF of research <br />and dry lab spaces, a parking garage <br />for 1450 vehicles and a 60,000 SF <br />Wellness Center nestled above the <br />garage structure. The research tower <br />is composed of 15 stories of flexible <br />open floor plates. The use of a raised <br />“access” floor provides the distribution <br />of mechanical, electrical and telecom- <br />munication systems, one of the first to <br />be used in south Florida. <br />The new two story 60,000 SF Wellness <br />Center is accessed directly from the <br />parking garage or from a glass sky <br />bridge from the 9th level of the main <br />building. A floating grand staircase <br />and a two-story atrium area accentu- <br />ate the main lobby. The overall design <br />highlights wellness and healing through <br />the subtle use of color and materials, <br />and further emphasized by a fiber- <br />optic illuminated water feature below <br />the cantilevered staircase. A juice bar <br />on the north side of the main entrance <br />overlooks the medical campus, and <br />provides an informal meeting place, <br />which will serve members as well as <br />tenants from the main building. <br />CLIENT <br />Univeristy of Miami <br />Richard K.
