This LEED Silver clinical research building features two generous entry plazas on separate levels connected by a curvilinear pedestrian bridge that creates access to the main floors. Sustainable landscape elements include multiple extensive green roofs, permeable paving and LED lighting. All site planting compliments the NIH campus plant palette with colorful, native and adaptive plantings within a ‘NoMow’ ecolawn area.
