Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, The Clifton Center for Medical Breakthroughs

LF Driscoll, as part of the PennFIRST Integrated Project Delivery team, delivered a state-of-the-art hospital designed to transform patient care and support the future of medicine. The facility includes 504 private patient rooms, 47 operating rooms, inpatient care for the Abramson Cancer Center, advanced surgical suites, a new emergency department, an underground parking garage, and bridges, tunnels, and walkways connecting the new building to the existing hospital campus.

Extensive prefabrication, just-in-time deliveries, trade partner collaboration, and around-the-clock construction enabled the team to manage the constrained urban site, improve schedule certainty, and reduce on-site labor. The Clifton Center became the largest project in the world at the time to achieve LEED v4 Healthcare Gold certification or higher and the first U.S. hospital of more than one million square feet to achieve LEED Healthcare certification.
