Located within the last remnants of the historic industrial fabric of Center City Philadelphia’s West Market corridor, 2300 Market is an 8-story, 225,000 square-foot life sciences research and discovery facility developed by Breakthrough Properties. The project embraces adaptive reuse and rehabilitation of an existing brick building and reconstruction of an adjoining building’s terracotta facade. The result highlights a collaborative and rigorous civic engagement process, a model in which the developer, design team, and local stakeholders work together to make history into a civic and economic asset for buildings of the future.
KieranTimberlake Principal Jon McCandlish and Associate Ryan Wall will present the design and context for 2300 Market, discuss the civic engagement process, and highlight some of the key visual and technical considerations undertaken for both the historic and new facades.
