Dear HuntonBrady,
I went back to school this year. I’m not taking night
classes, but I did spend many weeks preparing for the
American College of Healthcare Architects’ (AHCA)
Board Certification exam, which I took and passed in
April.
I can personally attest to the high quality of the ACHA
exam. It required in-depth knowledge of healthcare
architecture and was clearly focused on the unique issues
with which we deal every day in healthcare projects. Now
I have four more letters after my name, and you have
the assurance that HuntonBrady Architects values
knowledge, experience and dedication to the
profession- all to the benefit of your project.

38...No, Make that 40 AIA
Design Awards
We encourage all our employees to study for professional
accreditation. Several of our architects are currently
studying for LEED accreditation. If you have been
postponing attaining your professional accreditation or
ever doubted the benefits, I highly encourage you to “go
back to school” this year and reach this important goal.
The Key to a Successful
Community College
Partnership Project?
An Architect Leading The
Way
Ewers Century Center at Central Florida
Community College is a national model
for partnership. We worked with the
entire community on the project.
College Planning &
Management magazine ran
this article written by our own
Maurizio Maso, AIA and Zofia
Jurewicz, AIA in the May 2006
issue. They told readers about
the important role that architects
play in transforming community
colleges into valuable assets to
their surrounding communities.

Principal
• Think it's a LEED Accredited Product? Think Again.
In the Winter 2006 issue,
Sketches introduced you to
Kristin Brown, IIDA, our
LEED accredited interior
designer. The U.S. Green
Building Council established
LEED (Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design) to
distinguish building projects
that have a commitment to
sustainability. We proud to add
another team member to the LEED AP list. Congrats go
out to Susan Pendergraft, AIA, for recently becoming
certified. Kristin and Susan frequently gets asked about
the importance of LEED. A great reference source for the
novice is the USGBC's website. We’ve asked our LEED
APs to keep you updated on LEED news you can
use:
"Be wary of salespeople saying their products are LEED
certified or LEED accredited. Only projects are LEED
certified and people are accredited. Products can help
towards gaining LEED points, but they aren’t certified or
accredited by the USGBC."
Architects posseses certain
consensus-building skills,
including a sense of humour and
the ability to translate abstract
ideas into visible plans, which
make us exceptionally qualified
to lead a project with so many
different players. A list of those
skills includes:
• Establishing a Clear Vision
• Managing the Project
• Setting the Budget &
Controlling the Schedule
• Resolving Conflict
"Another tip: if you are planning a LEED Certified
building, plan on getting a LEED Accredited Professional
(and contractor, in some cases!) on board early to help
identify potential LEED points and help work toward
gaining those points. The earlier the better, as the
LEED AP can offer advice on everything from site
selection to construction methods to building design."

What's driving the
growing demand
for Medical Office
Buildings (MOBs)?
Our MOB design

• Maintaining Momentum
Our latest and greatest
partnership project is the
Partnership Center of
Southwest Volusia. At the
groundbreaking in June, the
partners of the facility (Daytona
Beach Community College,
Chamber of Commerce of West
Volusia, Volusia County and the
cities of Orange City, DeBary and
Deltona...whew!) explained the
innovative approaches the Center
will take to spark economic
growth, cultural enhancements
and civic activities. Corporate
training, community education
and numerous cultural programs
will all benefit from sharing the
facility.
Once the project is fully-funded
(the state is matching local funds
the partners raise for the project
dollar for dollar), we should
begin construction. Hopefully
that will occur early next year.

experts spoke to the Orlando Business Journal about the
trend. We've designed over 25 MOBs in the Southeast,
for Signature Pharmacy, Celebration Health, Halifax
Medical Center (pictured here), Florida Hospital, Florida
Eye Clinic and many more.
The Daytona Beach News Journal interviewed President
& Healthcare Design Principal Chuck Cole about the
growing prevalence of larger, private patient rooms in
hospitals.
77 million pounds of
concrete later, and
we're finished with
the amazing Cancer
& Genetics
Research Complex
at the University of
Florida. UF's POST
magazine follows the
design and
construction team
from the initial inception to completion for a great story
about the complex and the high expectations we all have
for it.
• Project Update
We've completed design
services for the Florida
Hospital Celebration
Health Women's

The 15,000 sf labor &
delivery expansion
features 120 beds, and
a unique C-Section
Viewing Room with
electric glass windows
that allow family or guests to view a c-section birth from
an adjoining room. A typical patient room is pictured
here.
• Community of Caring
"Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community." -
Anthony D'Angelo

Corporate Development Director Karen Moorefield
organized a career education day for 27 local Girl Scouts
of Cirtus Council members as part of her volunteer work
with Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW). CREW
Careers: Building Opportunities educates teenage
girls about career opportunities in commercial real
estate. The nationwide event was held locally at Orlando
City Hall in April. Susan Pendergraft, AIA, spoke about
careers in architecture. The group is pictured here, in
their finest pink hard hats, in the City Hall rotunda.
Andy Sexton, AIA, Principal, is serving on the Orange

• 38...No, Make that 40 AIA Design Awards
We just got back from the
2006 AIA Orlando Design
Awards banquet, where a
good time was had by all.
We walked away with two
awards this year, and
couldn't be prouder of our
staff and the cool projects
they're always working on.
These awards are especially
meaningful because they are judged by a jury of our
peers- architects from throughout the United States.
Our Project PlayHouse ,
pictured above, for the
Florida Hospital Foundation
took home the
Entertainment Award of
Merit and our design for
Adventist Health System’s
Florida Hospital Ormond
Memorial , seen here, won a Healthcare Honorable
Mention award. Another version of the Project
Playhouse was on display last month at Mall of Millenia
as part of a fundraising auction to benefit cancer striken
children.
