A New Home for the AssociationKnowing that the new headquarters building would sit forever in the midst ofWashington’s glorious monuments, APhA realized that the building would have tomeet exceptional standards of design excellence. The prominence of its locationon the National Mall and its physical connection to the historic Pope buildingmandated that the design pass muster with all federal and District of Columbiareview commissions. To meet this standard, APhA selected the firm Hartman-CoxArchitects, highly respected for its expertise in neoclassical architecture. With theskillful guidance of Hartman-Cox, APhA, over a period of several years, succeededin winning the approval of both the community and government review authorities.APhA also chose to meet the challenge of achieving a Gold rating for “green”building from the United States Green Building Council.Pharmacy’ s Home on the National MallHistorical PerspectiveLocated between the Lincoln Memorial and the U.S. Department of State andadjacent to the National Academy of Sciences, the site for APhA headquarters wasauthorized by an act of Congress in 1932 and is the only privately owned buildingon the National Mall.The original structure has become known as the Pope building, after the architectJohn Russell Pope, whose work includes some of the most famous structuresin Washington, DC. Pope was the architect for the Jefferson Memorial, NationalArchives, National Gallery of Art, and Constitution Hall.The dedication of APhA headquarters was held on May 9, 1934. Twenty-five yearslater, in 1959, APhA broke ground for an annex to the original structure. The annexwas completed within a year and dedicated during the 1960 APhA Annual Meeting.More than 40 years later, plans were unveiled at the 2001 APhA Annual Meeting topurchase the land behind APhA headquarters and replace the annex with a newstructure. On January 26, 2007, APhA broke ground on a project that would addmore than 300,000 square feet of space and enhance the historic Pope building.The renovation and expansion of APhA headquarters augments the vision of HenryA.B. Dunning, Chair of the APhA All-Pharmacy Headquarters Building Campaign,who predicted in the 1934 dedication that “immediately in the rear of this building,there will begin the erection of another building” that will provide a venue forpharmacists from all related associations to gather to explore new opportunities,foster partnerships, and demonstrate the importance of the profession to the public,media, and policy makers.APhA’s new building started off on the right foot when the ground to the north ofthe old annex was remediated to remove any trace of the dry cleaning chemicalsdumped in the ’40s and ’50s by a previous occupant of the site. Considering itsproximity to the Potomac River basin, the building was designed with exceptionalground water management systems; however, excavation disclosed that thebuilding sits on a solid rock shelf. The two lowest levels had to be blasted out of theground, a very delicate process in an urban area surrounded by historic structures.Seismographs were installed in surrounding buildings to ensure that vibrationfrom blasting was contained within acceptable limits. Under the elegant exterior,APhA’s new headquarters building is built to last. To meet government occupancystandards, it was necessary to build in “progressive collapse”—a structural systemdesigned to allow a building to remain standing if a supporting column fails.With the construction of the new annex, consisting of six floors above grade andtwo below, plus two parking levels, APhA’s gross building area increased from31,000 square feet to 359,026 square feet. The additional square footage allows theAssociation to rent space to the Department of State.Unique Spaces and EnhancementsErnest Mario RotundaOne of the highlights of the APhA headquarters, the Ernest Mario Rotunda is a centraldomed space with a deep semicircular recess that highlights the statue of WilliamProcter Jr., the Father of American Pharmacy. John Russell Pope designed thisdomed space with skylights and ornate pendentives that are similar to his later TateGallery rotunda in London. Renovations to the rotunda include new lighting andimproved acoustics. In addition, all dressed stone has been cleaned and repointed.One of the most significant changes to this grand space is the commission of twooriginal bronze sculptures that convey the pharmacist’s role in making medicinesand making medicines work. Opposite the sculptures are two marble pedestals, oneinscribed with the pharmacist code of ethics and the other recognizing Dr. ErnestMario for his support toward the restoration of the rotunda.Art GalleryIn October 2007, Pfizer, Inc., gave the APhA Foundation Great Moments in Pharmacy,a collection of paintings depicting a comprehensive history of pharmacy.

A Commitment to the EnvironmentThrough a conscious effort to minimize our environmental footprint and realizingthe value of going “green,” APhA has laid the foundation for obtaining Leadership inEnergy and Environmental Design, or LEED, certification. LEED certification verifiesthat a building project meets rigorous standards for sustainable design in the areasof sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources,and indoor environmental quality.Some of the green features of APhA headquarters—• Bike racks• Preferred parking for low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles• 50% of site area beyond building footprint is vegetated open space• High-efficiency irrigation system and low-flow water fixtures• High-efficiency heating and cooling systems that reduce energy use by 25%• Comprehensive recycling program• 10% of building material manufactured and harvested from within 500miles of the site• 10% of the materials made from recycled content• Building systems provide 30% more outside air than is requiredNot Just Bricks & MortarKnowlton Center for Pharmacist-Based Health SolutionsCommunity pharmacist–based services have measurable clinical and financialimpacts. Recent pilot projects across the country have demonstrated these impactsover and over again. The center, established through a generous pledge from theKnowlton Foundation, expands on the results of APhA Foundation demonstrationprojects. The center also established the APhA Foundation Executive Residency inAssociation Management & Leadership, a training program designed to developassociation executive apprentices with business acumen, management know-how,and leadership abilities.Health Matters InSchool ProgramDuring the early phases of the Bringing Your Medicines to Life campaign, sanofiaventissupported an educational pilot program to increase the knowledge andunderstanding related to the proper use of both prescription and nonprescriptionmedications by school-age children and their families and to explain the role ofthe pharmacist as a medication consultant. The APhA Foundation partnered withpublisher Scholastic, Inc., to create an InSchool kit that was mailed to approximately18,000 third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade teachers in the Washington, DC, area.67
