The Vagelos Laboratory for Energy Science, and Technology features an innovative facade that was planned from the inside out. Beginning with the early site strategy, program arrangement, the facade was planned to holistically maximize daylight, optimize thermal performance, prioritize user comfort and control, and express the mission of energy research to the public at this prominent gateway to the University of Pennsylvania’s campus.

Join us and learn more about early site strategy, building enclosure, and thermal performance. With Michelle Lee of Behnisch Architekten and Shaun Patchell, Engineering Specialist at L.F. Driscoll Co
