Planning Strategy:
Skirkanich Hall promotes enhanced connection between the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the rest of the Penn campus. This new facility provides an opportunity to unite formerly disparate spaces and give the SEAS a dramatic and welcoming the front door. Equally important to embracing the campus is embracing the intimacy of the Quain courtyard between the four buildings of this college, Levine, Towne, Skirkanich, and Moore.
Program:
The new building houses research and teaching laboratories, an auditorium, classrooms, offices, and associated support spaces.
