SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION EDWARD TUCKER ARCHITECTS More than Just Buildings Designing Huntington’s Academic Landscape Edward Tucker Architects is known for designing spaces that innovate, comfort and inspire, which made the firm the perfect candidate to oversee the development of two new complementary structures for Marshall Universi- ty: the new home of the Marshall University School of Pharmacy and a new housing complex for pharmacy and medical school students. INNOVATE Edward Tucker Architects is serving as the architect of record on this $56 million project. The new buildings will be located on the Fairfield campus near Marshall Univer- sity’s Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine, moving the university toward a more cohesive health sciences campus. “This will be an excellent opportunity for a unified medical school campus,” says Nathan Randolph, AIA, principal at Edward Tucker Architects, who coordinated the design team’s efforts on this project. “Bringing the school of pharmacy to Fairfield allows for all programs to collaborate and share resources.” C
