Ronald O. Perelman Center for Political Science and Economics

The Ronald O. Perelman Center for Political Science and Economics represents Penn Arts & Sciences’ most ambitious capital project in support of the social sciences in decades.

Completed in 2018, the building is a home for two of the School’s largest departments and fosters intellectual interaction and collaboration across disciplines. The Perelman Center is designed by KPMB Architects and restores the historically-significant West Philadelphia Trust Building at 36th and Walnut Streets and marries it with a contemporary addition.
