This building is a gathering place where the University of Pennsylvania’s faculty and students can engage with eminent international scholars and policymakers on global issues. As a hub for international exchange and activity, the Perry World House provides facilities to support innovative research and enhance the flow of ideas between the university community and global thought-leaders. The Lighting Practice provided design services for all interior and exterior project areas with the goal of LEED Silver certification. We placed particular attention on the integration of lighting controls into the World Forum, a large multi-media presentation space with capabilities for live-streaming.
