wow looks great. For reference, this is off south of Walnut st, just east of David Rittenhouse Labs and north of part of the Palestra. It is currently a
parking lot. The rendering shows the building connected to the
elevated part of Walnut st.
There is a little blurb about the building at

STIMULATING SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY
What is the optimum environment for discovery in energy science? Penn checks all the boxes: eminent researchers in a range of complementary disciplines; programs that unite faculty, undergraduates and graduate students in collaborative research; and core teaching and research facilities in close proximity. The new Science Research Building will augment Penn’s existing strengths by adding state-of-the-art research space that connects physical scientists and engineers. Focused primarily on energy research, this new Penn Arts and Sciences and Penn Engineering facility will have a flexible infrastructure that can be adapted as needs evolve. Located on the south side of Walnut and 32nd Streets, it will also serve as a striking new gateway to the Penn campus from Center City.

INCUBATING ACTIONABLE IDEAS
A light-bulb moment can happen at any hour of the day or night. That’s why the Venture Lab, led by Penn Wharton Entrepreneurship and housed in brand new Tangen Hall (not shown), will keep its doors open 18 hours a day, seven days a week throughout the academic year and summer. As the center of entrepreneurship on campus, the Venture Lab will serve as a gathering place for cross-disciplinary interaction and learning-by-doing, drawing students and faculty from across the University.
Located at 40th and Sansom Streets, Tangen Hall will include co-working spaces, a large colloquium hall and a maker space with cutting-edge tools for design innovation. The Venture Lab will be where students incubate startups as part of a community of entrepreneurs and innovators and interact with Penn alumni in diverse fields who will serve as mentors and advisors.
