Here’s a snippet from the Drexel University Website
The Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building, designed by world-renowned architects Diamond and Schmitt, will be located at the corner of 33rd and Chestnut Streets. This new building will become a landmark for scientific research in Pennsylvania and the future of integrated science. The five-story, 130,000 square-foot building will house thirty-nine research and teaching laboratories for bio-medical engineering, biology and chemistry, and a fossil preparation lab. The design is environmentally sensitive and will become Drexel’s first Silver LEED certified building from the U.S. Green Building Council. Upon entering the building, guests will encounter a four-story Bio wall, the first of its kind at an American university. In a groundbreaking study, Environmental and Civil Engineering and Life Science students will come together to examine the wall’s effect on the interior atmosphere and its potential health benefits for commercial and academic applications. The wall will act as an air filter for the building, removing carbon dioxide and volatile compounds and controlling humidity. The construction of this building will enable Drexel to expand both its research capabilities and its student enrollment in biological science. Once completed in 2011, the Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building will not only become Philadelphia’s newest research facility, but will welcome international conferences on environmental sustainability and biological research. The Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building is guaranteed to spark a wave of research opportunities. By providing students with improved research facilities, the chances of innovative success will be greatly enhanced and may have powerful bearing in the future of science. In May 2009, Drexel’s Board of Trustees unanimously approved naming the Integrated Sciences Building in honor of the late-president Dr. Constantine Papadakis for his legacy of innovation and excellence while serving as president from 1995 to 2009. The University community joined Interim President Pennoni and the Papadakis family for the ceremonial groundbreaking of the Constantine Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building on November 17, 2009.
