The Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University Price Center for Genetic and Translational Medicine project consists of highly collaborative, flexible wet and dry research space, complemented by highly specialized shared core facilities.

The building has become the cornerstone of development for the expansion of the medical campus. A primary goal of this project was to create a new identity for the Medical College. A strong dialogue was established with the main entrance to the existing campus, defining a new prominent campus quadrangle while creating entries for the Medical College. The organization of the spaces within the building work in concert with newly defined campus pathways that move through the building.

Open labs and shared support spaces have the benefit of inspiring interaction and creative exchange among researchers, technicians and students. This is achieved through the strategic placement of programs to facilitate the spontaneous and informal exchange of ideas. For example, the atrium space and interconnecting stair at the center of each level encourage interaction between floors. The exposed lab utilities are organized in a modular, repetitive fashion and are readily accessible, allowing maximum flexibility and adaptability as research needs change over time.
