 Penn Medicine and Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, in partnership with The University City Science Center (UCSC) and Wexford Science & Technology, had a ceremonial groundbreaking last Thursday for a
new 11-story tower to be built at 3737 Market Street on The Science Center's campus in West Philadelphia. It is the 16th building in the Science Center, maintaining its reputation as an "innovation center," according to Dr. Stephen Tang, president and CEO of UCSC. Penn Presbyterian Medical Center will be the anchor tenant of the building, with ample space for offices and local businesses, on the northeast corner of 38th and Market.
The Penn Center for Specialty Care (at left) will serve to revitalize the 38th Street community, while simultaneously expanding Penn Presbyterian Medical Center's services by adding more than 150,000 square feet of outpatient and surgical care space, including the multidisciplinary Penn Musculoskeletal Institute. The modern, welcoming, and comfortable building will house nearly 110 exam rooms, six outpatient operating rooms, and an outpatient radiology center.
The state-of-the-art facility featuring multidisciplinary and integrated care will reinforce Penn Presbyterian Medical Center's vision "to bring the finest care to our patients and our community," said Michele Volpe, Presby CEO and Executive Director. This is Presby's first new building since the Heart Institute was built over 20 years ago. The building is expected to be completed by mid-2014. |
