  • What Is Penn Park?
    1 Frequently Asked Questions About Penn Park Q: What is Penn Park? A: Penn Park is 24 acres of contiguous open space that includes athletic and recreational facilities owned and operated by the University of Pennsylvania. This new amenity lies to the east of the Levy Tennis Pavilion, bordered by Walnut Street, AMTRAK’s Northeast Corridor rail line and South Street. Q: What are the athletic facilities in the Park? A: Proceeding south from Walnut Street; the Park contains Ace Adams field and Dunning-Cohen Champions field, both multipurpose NCAA regulation athletic fields; a 470- seat multipurpose stadium that is also an NCAA regulation women’s softball field; and 12 tennis courts, with 200 seat viewing stands. Between these facilities are pathways, elevated bridge connections and open space for passive recreation; 530 trees adorn the landscaped pathways for walking and jogging. The Park is served by a 210-car surface parking lot bordering the north boundary along Lower Walnut Street. In addition, a security station and restrooms reside in the stadium. Q: Is Penn Park just for athletic use? A: Penn Park integrates athletic venues and park like spaces. It has two acres of open spaces that are agile in use and not specified for athletic use. They are: the South Lawn, an open space between Ace Adams Field and the multipurpose stadium; the Picnic Grove - an open space nestled between the Dunning-Cohen Champions Field and the multipurpose stadium and the South Green, a grass recreation field south of the Hamlin Tennis Center. All easily accessed from the West by the Paley Bridge.

  • Kahn at Penn
    Kahn at Penn Louis I. Kahn is widely known as an architect of powerful buildings. But although much has been said about his buildings, almost nothing has been written about Kahn as an unconventional teacher and philosopher whose influence on his students was far-reaching. Teaching was vitally important for Kahn, and through his Master’s Class at the University of Pennsylvania, he exerted a significant effect on the future course of architectural practice and education. This book is a critical, in-depth study of Kahn’s philosophy of education and his unique pedagogy. It is the first extensive and comprehensive investi- gation of the Kahn Master’s Class as seen through the eyes of his graduate students at Penn. James F. Williamson is a Professor of Architecture at the University of Memphis and has also taught at the University of Pennsylvania, Yale, Drexel University, and Rhodes College. He holds two Master of Architecture degrees from Penn, where he was a student in Louis Kahn’s Master’s Class of 1974. He was later an Associate with Venturi, Scott Brown, and Associates. For over thirty years he practiced as a principal in his own firm in Memphis with special interests in religious and institutional architecture. Williamson was elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects in recognition of his contributions in architectural design and education. He is the recipient of the 2014 AIA Edward S. Frey Award for career contribu- tions to religious architecture and support of the allied arts. Routledge Research in Architecture The Routledge Research in Architecture series provides the reader with the latest scholarship in the field of architecture.

  • Faith Reforming
    Reforming Faith by Design Frank Furness’ Architecture and Spiritual Pluralism among Philadelphia’s Jews and Unitarians Matthew F. Singer Philadelphia never saw anything like it. The strange structure took shape between 1868 and 1871 on the southeast corner of North Broad and Mount Vernon streets, in the middle of a developing residential neighborhood for a newly rising upper middle class. With it came a rather alien addition to the city’s skyline: a boldly striped onion dome capping an octagonal Moorish-style minaret that flared outward as it rose skyward. Moorish horseshoe arches crowned three front entrances. The massive central At North Broad and Mount Vernon streets, Rodeph Shalom’s first purpose-built temple—de- doorway was topped with a steep gable signed by Frank Furness—announced the growing presence and aspirations of the newly developed neighborhood’s prospering German Jewish community. beneath a Gothic rose window that, in HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA turn, sat within another Moorish horse- shoe.

  • IMPACT REPORT a Message from Our President/CEO
    2018 IMPACT REPORT A Message From Our President/CEO If those close to Ed Snider were asked to name his most admirable qualities, it’s doubtful that patience would make the list. That’s not to say Ed didn’t put a lot of thought into what he did. It’s just that he believed sooner or later (and for Ed, it was most often sooner) the time comes to put an idea to the test—and if necessary—refine it on the fly. From our inception in 2005, Ed encouraged us to think boldly. If we saw a need or an opportunity (Ed typically thought these were two sides of the same coin), he urged us to take action. And—while we’ve grown in ways that may have surprised even Ed, we’re still inspired by his healthy restlessness. Consider some of the bold steps taken in 2018: u The University of the Sciences and Elizabethtown College were added to our cadre of higher education partners, providing our students with two more terrific post-secondary institutions at which they can access full college scholarships through our Goals & Assists program and graduate free of debt. u In efforts to deepen our commitment to foster good citizenship, broaden students’ horizons, and support our children, youth, and families in times of crisis, we created two new full-time positions: Coordinator of Service Learning & Career Development and Community Resource Specialist. u The Pew Charitable Trusts selected us to participate in its Evaluation Capacity Building Initiative, a rigorous 18-month training curriculum that will help us become even better at using data to measure and evaluate our success.
