Iovance Therapeutics cell therapy center is a centralized, scalable, state-of-the-art manufacturing
facility dedicated to producing life-saving therapies for cancer patients. Located in a 1,200 acre mixed use
neighborhood on the Delaware Riverfront, the LEED Gold certified building balances the programmatic
needs of medical research on a pedestrian-friendly, park-like campus.
Differing height and transparency demands between offices and high-bay manufacturing areas were
addressed through shifts in scale and unifying design elements that add rhythmic shadow and relief to
the expansive volume. The three-story glazed office wing features sculptural pre-cast concrete spandrels
that provide solar shading. The single-story high-bay manufacturing structure is composed of pre-cast
panels. A covered plaza facing the main boulevard draws people in, and an elevated bridge over a
stormwater garden provides a biophilc transition in and out of the workplace.
