Sidra Medical Research Center
SRMC is one of the largest Hospitals in the world, with a budget of 8 billion dollar and a 2.7 million s.f located in Doha Qatar middle East. Ellerbe Becket an Architectural firm with an average of 500 hundred employees nation wide, was selected to execute the design development thru completion. A selected collaboration team of 50 architects, worked on this unique large and complex project. My extended involvement on this Project, included coordinating activities associated in the development and preparation for architectural documents including layouts for one of the bell tower, allocating the specialty care for woman and children, ICU Units, NCU units as well as developing the Exterior detailing for the high rise atrium structure; these high rise atriums faced a challenge efforts due to the wind lateral forces and its own shape complexity.
