Amy Gutmann Hall is Penn Engineering’s new home for data science and AI. At six stories and 116,000 square feet, the building is the tallest mass timber academic facility on the East Coast. Named for the university’s longest-serving president, Amy Gutmann Hall connects building occupants, who work in a digital realm, back to the natural world—maximizing views and daylight, integrating ecological environments into interior spaces, and incorporating sensory stimuli that encourage collaboration and comfort. The cutting-edge mass timber system significantly reduces the building’s carbon footprint and reinforces its identity as a beacon of innovation.
