The Project

As the University of Washington's first and largest integrated design-build project, the 300,000-square-foot, nine-story Hans Rosling building unites global health programs with shared offices, meeting spaces, open stairs, and rooftop terraces. The project was delivered through progressive design-build delivery with the Miller Hull Partnership and is a nexus for research, collaboration, and innovation.

About

Designing a building once meant siloed work handed off between designers and contractors, leading to inefficiencies and surprises. We helped reimagine the process on Population Health with a “Big Room” where builders, engineers, trades, and users collaborated from the start. The team created innovative, high-performance solutions together by designing to real budgets and sharing risk and reward.
