In order to create New Jersey’s second pharmacy school and the first associated with a private university, RSC Architects transformed an existing, three-story office building into the interactive, state-of-the-art learning environment that Fairleigh Dickinson University envisioned.

RSC’s multi-phased renovation at Fairleigh Dickinson University’s Madison Campus involved converting a 60,000 s.f. empty office space into classrooms, laboratories (compounding, patient care, cadaver simulation, and infusion laboratories, among others), student activity/student services areas, faculty and administrative offices, a “mock” pharmacy, and support spaces.

Flexible instruction areas foster collaboration; advanced audio/visual equipment promotes distance learning; and the salvaging of existing spaces and fixtures allowed for the creation of value-engineered, cost-effective workspaces.
