Rutgers University medical-education buildings squeeze into tight site

New Brunswick, N.J., site is cut off by elevated railroad tracks

From The New York Times: It is challenging enough to build two state-of-the-art medical education buildings, but the challenge is even more formidable when the project site is clipped by elevated railroad tracks. This is the problem Rutgers University had to overcome to build its new College of Nursing and Institute for Health buildings in New Brunswick, N.J. The two gray-and-red structures are on a rectangular 0.95-acre parcel of land, its northwest corner cut off by an Amtrak and New Jersey Transit elevated rail line.
