设计的特点是两个L形结构连接，以创造一个六层，充满光线的玻璃中庭，其中包括连接桥梁和楼梯。作为大楼内部的主要“大道”，中庭自然会被天窗和两堵玻璃墙照亮，一堵是在华盛顿街，另一条是在艾伦街的终点站。

The design features two L-shaped structures linked to create a six-story, light-filled glass atrium that includes connecting bridges and a stairway. Serving as the building’s main interior “avenue,” the atrium will be naturally illuminated by skylights and two glass walls, one along Washington Street and one at the terminus of Allen Street.

该建筑，HOK正在为LEED黄金认证设计，将有一个正面与高性能的赤塔雨幕和玻璃幕墙系统，带来阳光的深处。将NFTA Allen街交通枢纽纳入医学院底层提供了方便的公共交通通道，促进了一个可持续、充满活力的社区的发展。

The building, which HOK is designing for LEED Gold certification, will have a facade clad with a high-performance terra-cotta rain-screen and a glass curtain wall system that brings daylight deep inside. Incorporating the NFTA Allen Street transit hub into the medical school’s ground floor provides convenient mass transit access, furthering the development of a sustainable, vibrant community.

新医学院将帮助大学实现对2020年UB战略计划至关重要的目标：创建一所世界级的医学院，为大学招聘优秀的教职员工，并将该地区转变为创新医疗和研究的主要目的地。

The new medical school will help the university achieve objectives critical to the UB 2020 strategic plan: creation of a world-class medical school, recruitment of outstanding faculty-physicians to the university and transformation of the region into a major destination for innovative medical care and research.

霍克的设计为UB的医学院创造了新的布法罗尼亚加拉医学院的心脏，同时整合和连接周围的社区。该建筑的中庭将是集中临床，基础科学和教育用途，促进合作的焦点。

HOK’s design for UB’s medical school creates the heart for the new Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus while integrating and connecting to the surrounding communities. The building’s atrium will be the focal point for bringing together clinical, basic sciences and educational uses fostering collaboration.

大楼的前两层将容纳多用途的教育和社区空间，供医学院和社区推广项目使用。一座二楼的桥将连接到新的约翰·R·奥伊儿童医院和紧邻UB的新医学院的Conventus医疗办公楼。医学院的第三层、第四层和第五层将有核心研究设施和大约15万平方英尺的国家先进研究实验室。(鼓掌)

The building’s first two floors will house multipurpose educational and community spaces for medical school and community outreach programs. A second-floor bridge will link to the new John R. Oishei Children’s Hospital and the Conventus medical office building under construction along High Street adjacent to UB’s new medical school. The third, fourth and fifth floors of the medical school will feature core research facilities and approximately 150,000 square feet of state-of-the art research laboratories.  

六楼将容纳该国一些最先进的专业医学教育设施，包括一个扩大的病人护理模拟中心，该中心将以目前位于UB南校区的贝林模拟中心为特色。它还将容纳一个外科模拟中心，医学院学生可以在模拟手术室进行手术。一个机器人手术模拟中心将对学生和医生进行远程控制手术技术的培训。

The sixth floor will house some of the country's most advanced specialized medical education facilities, including an expanded patient care simulation center that will feature the Behling Simulation Center currently located on UB’s South Campus. It also will house a surgical simulation center where medical students can conduct surgeries in a simulated operating room. A robotic surgery simulation center will train students and physicians in remote control surgery technologies.

医学院的行政办公室和学术部门将设在三至七楼。七楼将提供大体解剖设施。从新学校的积极学习环境到支持多学科研究小组的高度灵活的研究实验室，这一设计支持了学术和研究设施设计的一系列全球趋势。

The medical school’s administrative offices and academic departments will be located on floors three through seven. The seventh floor will house gross anatomy facilities. From the new school’s active learning environments to the highly flexible research laboratories supporting multidisciplinary teams of investigators, the design supports a range of global trends for the design of academic and research facilities.

这所耗资3.75亿美元的医学院部分资金来自纽约州立大学2020年立法。破土动工计划于2013年9月进行，预计将于2016年完工。

The $375 million medical school is funded in part by NYSUNY 2020 legislation. Groundbreaking is scheduled for September 2013 and construction is expected to be complete in 2016.
