The recently completed Skip Viragh Building at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Care Center. A 10-story, 184,000 SF building focused on an interdisciplinary approach to treating cancer through an array of diagnostic and treatment programs and multidisciplinary clinics. This building occupies a prominent hilltop location on the campus and in the city.

The Nelson Harvey Building, a 10-story, 180,000 SF facility renovated and repurposed to provide patient care for the Department of Medicine, pulmonology, gastroenterology, and cardiac medicine.
