Jefferson Health’s Honickman Center in Philadelphia has Opened
Jefferson Health’s new Honickman Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania has opened. The center is a 19-story, 462,000-square-foot flagship medical building. The building is a multi-specialty outpatient care center and offers accessibility for patients needing additional support and quiet spaces with sensory-friendly furniture designed with neurodiverse patients in mind. It is the final piece of a $1-billion East Market development.
Nodding to Philadelphia’s and Thomas Jefferson University’s history of textile production, the Honickman Center is clad in a dynamic sculptural glass façade composed of compound curved pleats to suggest the movement of fabric. The transparent design invites engagement in and around the development.
The lower levels of the building orient patients quickly and easily, providing them with a waiting and amenity space, including a café, retail pharmacy, meditation and multipurpose spaces. Civic plazas, the open and welcoming lobby, and amenity spaces on the ground level serve as new community assets that activate the urban streetscape and contribute to the energy of the East Market neighborhood. An integrated art program reinforces the institution’s connection to the community and extends the experience of civic space.
The project team included: National Real Estate Development, Ennead Architects, Stantec, BLTa and Jaros, Baum & Bolles.
