Project Type Addition of a Conference Center and Library Description Construction of a three-room Conference Center, with a 300 person capacity, and a state-of-the-art library Owner Winthrop University Hospital Architect Larsen Shein Ginsberg & Magnusson, LLP, Architects Size 10,000 square feet Construction Cost $1.7 million Project Manager John Goulding Project Superintendent Nick Chimenti

Winthrop University Hospital needed a new conference center and library to accommodate their rapid expansion and growth. The new conference center and library now provide a fundamental component for the teaching program at the hospital.

The new conference center replaces a single, much smaller meeting room and can accommodate up to 300 people. Movable soundproof partitions were installed, which can be used to divide the center into three separate rooms. The conference center features state-of-the-art telecommunications applications, teleconferencing and video capabilities, as well as multimedia capabilities for presentations complete with rear projection screens and sound panels.

Adjacent to the conference center is the new library. High-density file storage was used to combine the two locations which was previously occupied by the library into one fluid area. Soft wood tones along with comfortable chairs and tables give the space a warm feeling.
