Green Building: What it Means
The Ruth and Raymond Perelman Center
for Advanced Medicine represents
much more than a new building: It is a new idea.
It is the home to patient-centered
care provided
by the highest caliber of physicians and nurses
using the most advanced treatment options. In
addition, it is an environmentally conscientious
and healthy place to visit and work.
As one of
the largest academic medical centers in
the country, Penn is at the forefront of medicine.
Providing a healthy environment for its patients,
staff, visitors, and the surrounding community
is
a vital part of its mission.
The Perelman Center
for Advanced Medicine meets the highest performance
standards for health care excellence. It is one
of
the first health care facilities in the Philadelphia
region constructed using Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) guidelines,
developed by the United States Green Building
Council (USGBC).

Center for Advanced Medicine is a Green Building,

certification and features.
