Thomas Jefferson University dedicated the 129,000-sf Dorrance H. Hamilton Building in Philadelphia on October 19, 2007. The six-story interdisciplinary health instruction facility will accommodate integrated education in nursing, medical, physical, and occupational therapy. The $60 million project includes classrooms, a 300-seat auditorium, a 60,000-sf plaza, and a 252-space underground parking garage. The two-floor Rector Clinical Skills Center features virtual diagnostic and surgical suites with mechanical patients and an anesthesia lab. The building was designed by Burt Hill with plaza and urban landscape design by Andropogon Associates, both of Philadelphia.
