The largest project in Penn Medicine history, the Pavilion is a $1.6 billion, 17-story, state-of-the-art hospital facility.
With a 690-stall subterranean parking garage topped by a 1.5-million-square-foot high-rise superstructure, the facility is home to 504 private patient rooms and 47 operating/interventional rooms.
Occupying a highly visible spot in West Philadelphia; the Pavilion links the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and adjacent Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine. The Pavilion design has infiltrating daylight, landscape views and customisable rooms. It weaves together several public spaces with a new promenade, plaza and garden spaces that connect with the adjacent Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology and SEPTA, Philadelphia’s regional light rail authority.
To design and construct the facility, the integrated project delivery team assembled a 30,000-square-foot model inside a warehouse. Using moveable walls and floor tape, engineers, architects and constructors collaborated while incorporating insights from nurses into the plan.
