Stanford University's Center of Academic Medicine provides a case study in regenerative design—architecture that works with and for nature for the benefit of people and the planet. In this narrated animation, HOK's Director of Regenerative Design Sean Quinn walks viewers through the regenerative design strategies that shaped the Center for Academic Medicine. Viewers will be introduced to concepts such as:

  • Mitigating heat-island effect
  • Solar modeling and sculpting
  • Reducing embodied carbon
  • Passive cooling
  • Biophilic design including daylighting and access to nature
  • Designing for community connections
