PHILADELPHIA | Hub for Clinical Collaboration | 377 FT | 19 FLOORS
Club for Clinical Clollaboration
Title: Hub for Clinical Collaboration Project: Office/Hospital Architect: Perkins + Will Developer: Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Location: 3501 Civic Center Boulevard District: West Philadelphia Neighborhood: University City Floors: 20 Height: 377 FT
Some prep work for this has already begun-- the hardscaping surrounding the area of the plaza being filled in by this building is starting to be removed.
Lots of activity all this week (as mentioned above)--this thing is going to sprout above ground level before we know it, and at 377 ft tall is pretty impressive, taller than it's adjacent neighbors.
Quick photo I grabbed at work last Wednesday. Only captures about half of the site, maybe less. This project has also been renamed the Hub for Clinical Collaboration, but I haven't seen the name used in any public releases.
Took a photo of the other half of the site on 10/22. Due to Buerger's design I can only get half of it one shot. Maybe when its climbing I can head to the upper floors of Colket to take a pic.
It seems this one might be continuing with the same kind of medical building exemption as the HUP hospital. I just got a notice of a construction-related road closure

Scratch that, just got a follow up email that the road closure and construction is cancelled. Maybe they were waiting to hear back.
I can see arguments for both sides on this one-----for, it is part of a hospital complex, against, it's not intended for direct patient care.
I'd be interested in what others think.
