Earth Day 2018 Bartrams Garden Clean-Up

Over 25 SAS volunteers came out on 4/27 to participate in a clean-up of the Schuylkill River at Bartram’s Garden in conjunction with United by Blue. This is the best turn out we’ve had for an Earth Day event and we helped pick up more than 1,200 pounds of trash from around the Garden. A big thank you to all of our volunteers who were able to participate!

Stephen A. Levin Building – LEED Certification

The six-story Levin Building integrates psychology, biology and behavioral sciences under one roof with research laboratories, teaching facilities, and space for students to collaborate and study. Strategically located between the Leidy Labs at 3740 Hamilton Walk and the Carolyn Lynch Labs at 433 S. University Ave., the building completed Penn Arts and Sciences’ life sciences expansion project. The building’s design team was led by SmithGroup JJR Architects and Engineers. P. Agnes Inc. was the construction manager. Its design reflects its function in the ornate aluminum sunscreen on the south façade, designed to convey the branching and network structures found at all scales of biology and to resonate in psychological, linguistic, and cognitive models. The sunscreen also contributes to the building’s sustainability by offering an expected minimal 50 percent reduction of solar heat gain during summer months. The building was awarded LEED Silver Certification in April 2018.
