Cam Grey, the faculty director of New College House (NCH) joined Penn President Amy Gutmann in last week’s NCH ribbon-cutting ceremony, signifying the completion of the seven-story, 198,000-square-foot, $127 million project. The building’s façade consists of brick and limestone, punctuated by vertical glass towers revealing interior circulation and lounge spaces with views of Penn’s surrounding campus community and Center City. Furniture and building materials were selected to contribute to sustainability for the building which is targeting a LEED certification of Silver or greater. The 180 dining chairs in the student suites were fabricated in Pennsylvania from a 20,000 discarded soda bottles. Each coffee table in the student suites was designed and fabricated in South Philadelphia. |
