UCR School of Medicine Education Building 2 Sunscreens and Interior Art

 The sun screens and stairway screens on the new UC Riverside School of Medicine Education Building 2 (E Campus Dr, Riverside, CA) bear a striking resemblance to DNA and protein sequencing gels.  I am not sure if it was intentional or just fortuitous, but I find it noteworthy given the important role of genetics in modern medicine.  The screens were made by BŌK Modern.  Below are some examples of the solar and stairway screens, DNA and protein sequencing gels, and some citrus-themed artwork in the interior of the building.
