Rethinking efficiency: UT Austin takes a creative approach to unprecedented campus growth

摘要

The Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin is, according to its slogan, "Rethinking Everything," from how medical care is taught to how it is delivered to the community. As the first medical school in nearly 50 years to be built from the ground up at a top-tier U.S. research university, Dell will be located in a new medical district under construction on the southeastern corner of the UT Austin campus. The project promises to revolutionize many aspects of health care delivery and create an entirely new approach to academic medicine. The new school will welcome its inaugural class of students in June 2016. As part of this groundbreaking effort, the university has also recently rethought how it delivers energy through its campus district energy/combined heat and power system.
