In the aftermath of Super Storm Sandy, JLGA provided a feasibility study and redeveloped 30,000 SF of heavily damaged below grade space for a major New York Health System’s School of Medicine.

The new state-of-the-art sand first-of-its-kind space in the Smilow Research and Learning Center includes a new interactive Learning Center and Learning Lab for the Department of Plastic Surgery. A viewing window and interconnected A/V systems connect the two spaces and allow for live surgical demonstrations from leaders in the field to professional surgeons from around the country and world.
