The space features curved wooden seating and light canopies, creating an inviting atmosphere that echoes Kahn's architectural ambitions while maintaining a contemporary feel. This intervention marks a significant step in Scott's broader redevelopment efforts of the South Broad Street campus, inviting urban discovery through its design.
