Jefferson Health Honickman Center
This project featured the construction of a 19-story, 462,000 SF Specialty Care Pavilion and a 158,750 SF 3-level, 275-space underground garage for Jefferson Health, the largest capital project in their history. Early work included the demolition of an Art Deco-styled prewar parking garage at 1101 Chestnut Street.
The completed Honickman Center combines all of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital’s and Jefferson Health’s outpatient services into a single building. This includes the Jefferson Transplant Institute, Korman Respiratory Institute and Digestive Health Institute, and various clinical specialties such as cardiovascular, otolaryngology, rheumatology, and urology. The state-of-the-art facility features over 300 exam rooms, 58 infusion chairs, 10 operating rooms and PACU, 6 endoscopy rooms, imaging and lab services, physicians’ offices, conference space and administrative offices, and a pharmacy.
The building is equipped with dedicated mechanical floors, a mechanical well housing cooling towers and emergency generators. Ground and second levels feature a two-story atrium entry lobby, with security desk, provisions for electronic check-in kiosks, and dedicated elevators for the underground garage, with loading dock and storage areas. A porte-cochere extends to the second floor Cafe, waiting areas, lounge and pharmacy, with a planted green roof surrounding the level’s exterior. Digital wayfinding, virtual surgical theaters, voice assistants, wearable data integration, augmented and virtual reality, and robotics are featured in the buildings’ design.
