The West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine (WVSOM) selected Edward Tucker Architects and Hasenstab Architects to design a renovation and addition to their Fredric W. Smith Science Building. The project, currently in the Construction Documents phase, will improve functionality of the space and attract researchers, expanding education opportunities for students and faculty.
The interior’s team at Edward Tucker Architects is leading the coordination of finishes, furniture, and signage to ensure the design reflects the institution’s goals and values. Their aim is to create a welcoming and inspiring space that fosters collaboration and research for both students and faculty. The scope of the project includes a three-story addition which will include research laboratories and support spaces.
The project is funded through an award of $29,000,000 from the West Virginia Legislature, as well as $6,000,000 grant from HRSA.
Construction is anticipated to begin in 2025.
