3675 Market

A joint venture of Wexford Science + Technology and The University City Science Center, 3675 Market, a 14-story Class A laboratory and office building. Demolition of the existing parking garage and office building allowed for site reconfiguration, providing an opportunity for a future extension of 37th Street from Filbert to Market Street, in addition to the new building and plaza. This project is a cornerstone of the Science Center’s development of UCity Square, a mixed-use environment developed at the former University City High School site.

The building, designed for 60% office and 40% laboratory use, contains flexible wet laboratory space, computational laboratory space, office, retail, and a shared work/conference meeting space. It has a steel frame and composite metal deck structural system designed to support 100 PSF live loads. The thermally-enhanced building envelope is a curtainwall system, and the roof is energy rated with a native and non-invasive vegetative green roof system. The building has a high-performance HVAC system, and has achieved LEED Gold certification.
