Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates designed the Huntsman Hall at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. The visitor gazes up at the skylights that shine like sunrays through the clouds, an impressive use of material and daylight.
The $140 million building contains 48 classrooms, 57 study rooms, a presentation Colloquium, a 300-seat auditorium, and a large forum for special events. The building opened in 2002.
KPF is well acquainted with educational facilities, have designed remarkable projects at Oxford, Stanford, and UCLA.
