Submitted By: Overland Partners Architects
Size: 20,000 gross square feet
Location: Springfield Township, Pa.
Cost: $7.8 million
Once a 19th century private estate, the University of Pennsylvania Morris Arbo-
retum Horticulture Center is now a 21st century world-renowned public garden
and educational institution. The first phase of the new horticulture center forms
a campus anchored by a central “farm courtyard.” Thousands of rare pl ants, in-
cluding some of Philadelphia’s oldest and largest trees, are set on a 92-acre land-
scape. The current buildings are designed to achieve LEED Platinum. Addition-
ally, the buildings create an entire water management system including water
harvesting and a constructed wetland that provides treatment of wastewater.
STEPS BUILDING
Submitted By: Bohlin Cywinski Jackson
Size: 135,000 gross square feet
Location: Bethlehem, Pa.
Cost: $62 million
The STEPS Building houses Lehigh University’s new Science, Technology, Environ-
ment, Policy and Society program, which integrates the sciences, environmental
studies, engineering and the social sciences. From the beginning, the design
process integrated site and campus; program and activity; and technological
and sustainable criteria. The architects identified opportunities to enhance the
physical campus and improve campus life through social stimulation as well as
provide new teaching and learning resources for a balanced, holistic outcome.
While melding site and program, the architects introduced technological and
sustainable practices to achieve a fully integrated design.
