New bridge connecting the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania with the Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine
During the 12 months of demolition, Penn Medicine implemented an extensive recycling program in conjunction with the contractor overseeing the project to:
- separate steel from concrete
- crush concrete, remove aluminum, copper and other metals from general debris
- minimize the amount of debris going to a landfill.
We estimated that upwards of 85% of the demolition materials were diverted from landfills and recycled.
