遵從克利夫蘭醫學中心168 英畝的校園制定戰略總體規劃，該醫學中心委托福斯特建筑事務所與凱斯西儲大學共同設計完成了一個全新建筑，定位于綜合互動式健康衛生教育的未來。簡報指出，總體規劃內靠近醫學中心的地區，可發展成為一專用園區，將兩個醫學院，一個牙科醫學院與一個護理學院加以合并。

薩姆森健康中心擁有廣闊的草坪與溫馨的頂篷，穿過此地，人們可通往宏偉、自然采光的內部庭院，該建筑的設計代表凱斯西儲大學與克利夫蘭醫學中心在健康衛生教育方面的一項重大投資。該設計將以前分開的牙科、護理、大學以及克利夫蘭醫學中心勒納學院的醫學教育項目合并為單一的、多學科的四層建筑，彼此融為一體。每一學院的重點建筑均圍繞著一個大的內部庭院，原有作用得以保留，但同時擁有一系列分層的共享空間。通過對教學方法的利用研究與分析，空間效率得以大大提高，同時靈活空間的創建為未來發展也提供了機會。不同的學院共用教學場地、行政區域、報告廳、娛樂活動區與技術教學設施，以及經由改善的建筑設備、儲藏室與便利設施，諸如自助餐廳和人事支持。

80 英尺高的Delos M.Cosgrove 中央庭院是健康中心的社交中心。線性天窗置于庭院頂部用以采光，內置的橡木桌子、長椅和花盆均經事務所設計，故該空間可用于非正式的工作會議、巧遇和與同事共飲咖啡。針榕樹圈出了東西入口之間的一條行道，無意中增添了空間感，以及絲絲平靜綠意。人們可對家具與樹木重新布局，就像在南北方的冬季花園一樣，使其用于多種活動。

福斯特建筑事務所的結構和環境小組與建筑師共同研究得出了日光與氣候分析，為中央庭院房頂的設計提供了依據。該地區的大雪也是此獨特結構設計的原因，屋頂桁架傾斜用以令雪自然滑落，自玻璃上到庭院周圍的實心填充房頂上，并最終于房頂兩側的通道中融化。桁架覆層具有遮光作用，能夠使周邊空間獲得更多光線。

Following our development of a strategic Masterplan for the Cleveland Clinic’s 168-acre campus,Foster + Partners was commissioned by the Clinic, together with Case Western Reserve University, to design a new health pavilion that looks to the future of integrated and interactive health education. The brief identified an area of our masterplan, close to the Clinic, that could be developed into a dedicated campus, combining two Schools of Medicine, a School of Dental Medicine and a School of Nursing.

With its expansive lawns and welcoming canopy leading to a grand, naturally lit internal courtyard, the Samson Pavilion marks a significant investment in the future of health education for Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic. The design brings together the previously separate dental,nursing, and the university and Cleveland Clinic Lerner College medical education programs into a single, multidisciplinary four-story building that blends sympathetically with its neighbours. Key elements of each school are arranged around a large internal courtyard, maintaining their own identities, but with a series of layered shared spaces. Spatial efficiency was greatly increased through utilization studies and analysis of teaching methods, while the creation of flexible spaces allows room for future growth. The different faculties share teaching spaces, admin areas, lecture halls, recreational areas and technical teaching facilities as well as improved building services, storage and amenities such as cafeterias and personnel support.

The 80-foot-high central Delos M. Cosgrove courtyard is the social heart of the pavilion. Generously top-lit through linear skylights and furnished with oak tables, benches and planters designed by the practice, the space is meant for informal work meetings, chance encounters, and sharing a coffee from the nearby cafe. Ficus Nitida trees create an avenue between the east and west entrances introducing a sense of scale and calm greenery to the space. The furniture and trees can be easily reconfigured, as can the south and north winter gardens, for a wide range of events.

The daylight and climate analysis by Foster + Partners’ structural and environmental teams working alongside the architects informed the design of the roof of the central courtyard. The heavy snowfalls in the region drove the structural design, where the roof trusses are pitched to allow the snow to naturally slide off the glass and onto the solid infill roof around the courtyard, ultimately melting into the channels along each side of the roof. Shading is provided by the truss cladding allowing more light around the perimeter circulation spaces.

此外，針對圖書館、會議室、院長辦公室及其它與醫學中心關聯的工作場所，我們都設計了定制款辦公家具。保暖、耐磨的橡木和皮革材料利于隔音，并創造一種舒適感。新建筑將最新數字技術應用于共享社交空間，能夠讓來自牙科、護理科和醫學院的學生一起合作學習、相互啟發，從而實現該建筑的開拓性目標，即為所有人提供更好的醫療條件。

The practice has also designed bespoke furniture pieces for the library, meeting rooms, deans’ suites and other working spaces in collaboration with the clinic. The warm, timeless nature of the oak and leather materials aid acoustics and create a sense of wellbeing. The new pavilion allows students from the dental, nursing and medical schools to learn together, inspire each other, and collaborate using a combination of the latest digital technology and shared social spaces, reinforcing the building’s pioneering purpose to create better healthcare for all.
