Iconic. That’s the word that comes to mind when viewing both the “new” Wilmer building of 1929 and the Robert H. and Clarice Smith Building, established in 2009. The Smith Building, home to over 300 researchers and staff, provides a daily visual reminder of the rich history of the Wilmer Eye Institute: The iconic dome reflected in Smith’s glass façade evokes both the storied past and the exciting future that is Wilmer.
