On April 15, 2020, Penn Medicine’s Pavilion project, being built by LF Driscoll and Balfour Beatty US, was able to partially open. When Pennsylvania and Philadelphia’s COVID-19 response started a few weeks earlier, the project continued, and the team was able to bring 120 of the planned 500 patient rooms into operation – 15 months ahead of schedule.
These rooms — 60 in the emergency department and 60 inpatient rooms designed for extended care — will serve as overflow spaces for low acuity patients and patients under observation, freeing up beds at HUP for patients with COVID-19.
