“The building serves as an elegant but understated backdrop to its landscape with elements of delight that are impactful and purposeful” - AIA Jury

Connected by a network of lush, landscaped paths and a large warm season grass meadow, Penn Medicine’s state-of-the-art medical building seamlessly integrates within a thoughtfully designed 26.6-acre brownfield campus that also includes an office building and a luxury boutique hotel. The landscape design includes the integration of the pathway system to an adjacent trail network and to a mass transit station. The landscape design comprises planted courtyards, terrace areas, and a healing garden. A native drought tolerant plant palette was selected for its ecological benefits, to help reconnect the site to the native landscape, and to provide wildlife habitat.
