Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP; Philadelphia) is constructing the Morgan Center for Research and Innovation next to its Roberts Center for Pediatric Research, across the Schuylkill River from its main campus in West Philadelphia.
The 17-story, 350,000-square-foot addition is scheduled to open in 2025.
The new facility will expand the hospital’s laboratory research capacity and include wet and dry labs, according to a news release.
The project team includes Cannon (architect; Pittsburgh), Gilbane Building Company (construction; Cleveland), Pride Enterprises (construction management and consulting; Norristown, Pa.), and McKissack & McKissack (construction management services; New York).
A $50 million philanthropic gift from Mitchell L. and Dr. Hillarie L. Morgan is funding the project. Read more news about Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia here.
