The state-of-the-art Vagelos Laboratory for Energy Science and Technology will serve as a hub for the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) and School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS). The new laboratory building consists of seven floors features  highly flexible labs and workstations, faculty offices, administrative suites, and collaborative meeting/workspaces.
LF Driscoll and Perryman skillfully managed the interests of multiple project stakeholders—including developer Mosaic, owner University of Pennsylvania, the owner’s representative Watchdog, retail tenant McDonald's, SEPTA, and separate design teams—for this building’s core/shell construction and tenant fit-out.
