I swear I am not exaggerating, I have seen patients angrily yelling at family members and nearly in tears because they were so hopelessly confused by the building's layout. It's almost impressive how Penn Medicine manages to get everything so wrong often, especially when they have such a good example of beautiful campus development across the street at CHOP.

Finally, I was reading this whole thread waiting for someone to point out that Perelman's interior concept (traffic flow, way-finding, and CRIMINALLY INADEQUATE elevator layout and inventory) are EXPONENTIALLY WORSE than the exterior architecture.
