PROJECT OVERVIEW

Gerri C. LeBow Hall, the 12-story, 177,500-square-foot home for LeBow College of Business, is located at the heart of Drexel University's campus, at the intersection of Woodland Walk and Market Street, where it provides a backdrop to the historic statue of A. J. Drexel (Moses Ezekiel, 1904).

LeBow Hall features undergraduate and graduate classrooms organized around a dramatic central atrium that is accessible from entrances at the building's three corners.

LeBow Hall's warm masonry and glass exterior reflects the emerging vocabulary of the next generation of Drexel buildings. Sophisticated solar shading devices allow maximum transparency while supporting the building's high environmental aspirations. Glass curtainwall wraps the building’s lower floors while the tower above is clad in Indiana limestone in architectural precast panels.
