The following drawings were created in CADVANCE, compliments of:
P&W Architects, Kevin Tenbrook, Texas

Working with Dr. Ferid Murad, Director of the Institute of Molecular
Medicine for the Prevention of Human Diseases and Nobel Prize recipient,
P&W designed the Institute's heart, cardiovascular and hypertension
research laboratory for The University of Texas Health Science Center at
Houston. The 34,200 gross square foot laboratory is located on the
ninth floor of St. Luke's Episcopal Health System's Denton A. Cooley
Building. This space is designed to accommodate a Director with 15
scientists and a technical support staff consisting of post-docs and
students. Expected population is 60 to 70 FTE's or one person per 200
ASF of laboratory space. Additional support areas include
administrative and researcher offices, two large conference rooms and
support staff.

The design features fixed and mobile benches with lab gases, power, and
data supplied from overhead, surface- mounted utility raceways. This
approach to laboratory design allows maximum flexibility to support the
ever-changing programs. Office spaces were subdivided through the use
of demountable partitions to allow for rapid office reconfigurations
without the dirt, dust, and delays associated with normal drywall
construction. Selecting and using sustainable materials, where
appropriate, was also part of the overall planning concept.

Construction Documents for the Institute of Molecular Medicine were
created in Cadvance by the Project Managers and senior staff working on
the project. P&W Architects has used Cadvance for many years because of
it's ease of use, and comprehensive capabilities. Because of its
extraordinary ease of use, even the principals of the firm continue to
use CAD on a daily basis - something that would be impossible using the
defacto architectural cad program.
