To build 2 million square feet is in itself a task, but to relate 2 million square feet to the individuals within, rather than produce rooms with numbers on them is really our task. We have to create what I call ‘villages of space.’
- Bertrand Goldberg, Conversations With Architects, 1973
I’ve really grown to love the unusual architecture of Stony Brook University’s Health Sciences Center and University Hospital complex, designed by renown architect Bertrand Goldberg in the 1960s-1970s. The incredible scope of the project, unique use of space and bold design have given me a great sense of appreciation of the complex.
The architect’s description of the project is well worth the read.

It’s official: I’m pursuing a Ph.D.
I’ve officially accepted an offer of admission to Stony Brook University’s doctoral program in biomedical engineering, where I’ll be continuing my research in medical physics and digital breast tomosynthesis. I’m very excited to embark on this next stage of my education.
