University of Pennsylvania - Spruce Street
Philadelphia, PA

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The primary focus of the University of Pennsylvania's Campus Master Plan is to extend the design character of the central College Green to the disparate common spaces throughout the campus. Chosen for its core location among numerous prominent Campus buildings and the University's hospital, this project redevelops four city blocks of Spruce Street.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Site lighting improvements on Spruce Street between 34th and 38th Street. Connection for power from building along
Spruce Street.

CIVIL ENGINEERING
Traffic calming measures were introduced to alleviate user conflicts and to increase safety. Realignment of the curb for the entire four blocks allowed for the provision of new granite curb cuts to better define servicing, parking, drop-off areas and bus zones. Upgrades to vendor cartways, standardization of lighting, landscape elements, and paving were all part of the project scope.
