DAG Spotlight: 2300 Market Street by Kieran Timberlake
February 4 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am
Please join us for a DAG Spotlight discussion with firm Kieran Timberlake, who will discuss their exciting science research and discovery building at 2300 Market Street.
2300 Market is a singular new building that spans a century.
Located within the last remnants of the historic industrial fabric of Center City Philadelphia’s West Market corridor, the project is an 8-story, 225,000 SF life sciences research and discovery facility developed by Breakthrough Properties. The project embraces adaptive reuse and rehabilitation of an existing brick loft 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 worked together to transform historic structures into civic and economic assets for the future.
The existing buildings, originally built for the Autocar and Locomobile companies, are complemented by a high-performance vertical addition to accommodate state-of-the-art laboratory spaces, plus amenities including a cafe, lounge, fitness center, and elevated terraces. The inflected form of the new overbuild was established in dialog with the existing facades, weaving the historic Philadelphia streetscape with innovative and high performing design. The project is targeting LEED Gold certification and is scheduled for completion in early 2025.
Registration for virtual events is required to receive login credentials. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A.
This event will be hosted on Zoom.
