通过改善健康和减少环境危害，Lake|Flato建筑师事务所和BNIM事务所为UTHSC护理学院的合作设计已经成为既鼓舞人心又负责任的社会和教育空间的典型。
位于德州医学中心——全世界最大的医疗中心，该建筑可以到达周围近五十个医疗机构，但由于其不仅在功能和使用上，还在结构和性能上促进了健康，该建筑还是能够脱颖而出。鉴于医疗中心的密度和场地的规模，建筑成为一个垂直的园区，空间上从地面层向上由公共向私密渐变。
项目最普遍、最令人印象深刻的方面就是它在可持续性的努力。整个UTHSC护理学院的建造采用了50%的回收材料。不同立面上的光伏电池板和自然采光策略应对了不同太阳能条件，同时利用了自然光而不增加室内热量，使得能源消耗减少40%。雨水收集减少了60%用水量。所有这些共同使得项目达到LEED金牌认证。
The extremely simple and formally “traditionalist” appearance of the house’s mass is the result of the somewhat strict local building regulations regarding the shape and pitch of the roof, the height (number of floors) of construction, and distance from the edges of the plot.
The mass of the house is articulated solely through the repeated module of fenestration. The transition of the roof to the exterior envelope is resolved, both on the gable and along the eaves, without the slightest overhang: rain-gutters and drainpipes are integrated into the wall composition. In both gables, the facade is broken into walls running at a slant – on the ground floor, it forms a covered porch at the entrance, in the opposite gable, a covered loggia on the upper floor.
In its effect, the resulting appearance of the house is minimal, even ascetic, grounded merely in the refinement of the chosen natural materials, the composition of windows, the mastery of proportional relations and purity of detail. Great emphasis was placed on the chosen composition of the facade reflecting the logic of the interior arrangements. In this way, the house openly admits its simplicity.
