The Mount St. Joseph University Recreation and Fitness Center is an inclusive forum for all students to learn make healthy lifestyle choices, serves as a magnet to connect students, faculty, and staff as well as the Mount’s commitment to promote the balanced development of body, mind, and spirit.
The goal of the design is to encourage interaction among students to enhance the sense of community felt by students, increasing enrollment and retention.
One of the revitalization projects in the heart of the Avondale Neighborhood is the renewal of the old Avondale Towne Center (now named the New Avondale Center). This development consists of two new-builds and one renovated building. The two new-builds, named the South Building and North Buildings, are three and four-story buildings, respectively. These are market rate and subsidized residential apartments with first floor retail spaces. The renovated building, called the West Building, will contain retail spaces only. UC Health determined that the New Avondale Center North Building was a desirable location to partner with the Cincinnati Health Department to continue their mission to reach the underserved population.
Working in collaboration with Turner Construction, Moody Nolan led the design of this new four-story outpatient facility for Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. The 80,000 sq. ft. welcoming and patient-friendly facility houses pediatric sub-specialty clinics to better serve the greater Cincinnati community. Responding to their needs, our team developed a standardized floor plan that features identical clinical modulars with clear separation of public and clinical circulation. The new facility embraces the brand and standards currently in place and is expected to receive more than 50,000 visits within the first year of operation with at least 80,000 visits by 2018.
The patterns, movements and juxtaposition of materials on the building’s façade mirror the buildings playful, creative program within.
