Johns Hopkins University recently dedicated the new 50,000-gsf Academic and Research Building for its Montgomery County campus at the Shady Grove Life Sciences Center in Rockville. The three-story structure features state-of-the-art research and education facilities: four computer labs; 22 "smart" classrooms configured for video conferencing, multimedia presentations, and high-speed transmission of large databases; a coffee house; a bookstore; and student meeting spaces. The new facility is part of a five-building campus master plan; planning for building three is already under way. Kling Lindquist of Philadelphia provided architectural, engineering, and interior design services. The project was a design-build venture with Forrester Construction Company. Schematic design was provided by Lavigne Associates Architects.
