Edit: I wasn't dreaming after all. THIS is what it reminds me of.

So you mean the taller white buildings in the rear--which I believe are actually warehouse or factory buildings--and not the incinerator in the foreground? I can see how PCAM could remind you of those. But it was the incinerator part that threw me off. To me, that would be something more like the 90-year-old Hollenback Center, which isn't part of the PCAM project.

YES! THAT is what I meant! NOT The entire incinerator plant with the trash burning etc. but yes, the white (well dirty white buildings). Now, get off this website and go ENJOY YOUR MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY! LOL!

You just want me to leave you alone on this website with some of the, um, sexy skyscrapers. I get it--three's a crowd.

Have a great holiday!

Just thought of a new name for this: The Medical Maw!

[summersm343]

The floor count for this will be 19 floors, not 16.

The addition was approved by the planning commission. I would imagine they're prepping to go vertical again soon.

Iam actually not happy that this "thing" is getting more height...those are sacrilegious words on Skysraperpage. More height will potentially make this abomination even more prominent.

The crane has been jumped up. They're prepping to go vertical again for the next 8 floors.

[shadowbat2]

I was wondering when they would finally start on this. Also note the new sixth floor on the Perelman center wing....

Is that one building or several different buildings?

[Flyers2001]

Is the official name of this building the "Henry A. Jordan, M '62, Medical Education Center" or is that a different building?

Technically several different buildings but they all share a base.

"Penn Medicine JMEC"

Penn loves to use them anyway.

[MadhattersLT]

Went by yesterday and they had erected two floors or steel on the SE corner. Also looks like they jumped the crane height.

Several different buildings each designed by several different kindergartners.

This building is beginning to grow on me. May not be that bad, once it is fully completed...
