Wharton Academic Research Building
Wharton Academic Research Building
Planning Strategy:
This 80,450 GSF building links to the south side of Steinberg Hall-Dietrich Hall. On the ground level, an enclosed loading dock and electrical substation replaced the existing surface loading dock and the existing substation, which had been located in an underground vault. Woodland Walk has been restored from 36th to 37th Streets invoking the design intent of Ian McHarg's original 1957 series of squares and walks. The project began construction in Spring 2018 and was substantially completed in December 2020.
Program:
Four floors of academic and research space include flat floor classrooms, group study rooms, research centers and shared conference rooms.
