Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, Boston, MA / Vertical Expansion
Completed:
2009
Size:
105,000 SF
LEED:
Silver Certified
The new 105,000 SF vertical expansion adds five floors on top of the existing 10-story 1972 Dental School building. This addition creates a distinctive new image for the School and marks the gateway to the Tufts Health Sciences Campus. The project includes two clinical patient floors, an enlarged simulation lab and teaching facilities for students, as well as a continuing education conference center and administrative offices. The expanded and improved facilities better position the Dental School to increase enrollment, hire more faculty and deliver on its tradition of community service, benefiting more than 20,000 patients annually from the City of Boston and the greater New England community.
