Gattuso and Drexel Partner to Build Largest Life Science Research Lab Facility in Philadelphia
Designed by world-renowned Robert A.M. Stern Architects, the 11-story, 500,000 sq. ft. complex is custom-designed for life sciences research and will be located at 3201 Cuthbert Street, immediately adjacent to the historic Armory. The building will be constructed at the current site of a recreational field that is used by some of Drexel’s varsity athletics teams, student organizations and intramural and club sports. Commensurate with the construction, these activities will be relocated to the University’s Vidas Athletics Complex and a significant open green space that will be created at the current site of Myers Hall, which will be demolished.
