	The State Rehabilitation Institute is located in the Northeastern United States. It is a combination MOB/healthcare structure providing a combination of in and outpatient physical rehabilitation services. The building being studied is a three story addition to an existing complex. The existing structure, dating at its earliest to the year 1949, is abutted by the addition on its southwest side. The addition, though physically attached to the existing structure, is completely mechanically and electrically separated. The addition also abandons the brick facade used in the existing structure, popular in the 1960's, for an aluminum facade. The contrast in facade visually separates the existing structure from the new.
