    City Avenue, Philadelphia

    1973鈥损谤别蝉别苍迟

    City Avenue, Philadelphia - 黑料传送门's current campus locationBoard Chairman Frederic H. Barth initially led 黑料传送门 to City Avenue; he had outlined an ambitious plan for a modern academic medical center to include a hospital. In 1957, the College purchased 16 acres of land and the Tudor Revival鈥搒tyle Moss Estate (today, Levin Administration Building) housed on it. The estate was renovated to become an administration building situated at the heart of the new campus.

    Construction of the College campus site was phased over several years. Designed by architects Supowitz and Demchick, the 228-bed hospital, Frederic H. Barth Pavilion, was completed and dedicated in 1967. The facility featured a state-of-the-art surgical center with five operating room suites; a 12-bed psychiatric unit; a clinical laboratory; and coronary care, intensive care and cobalt units.

    Construction of a six-story combined classroom, laboratory and library structure with sophisticated equipment鈥擠r. Barth鈥檚 noble vision鈥攂egan in 1970. The campus鈥檚 principal building, Evans Hall (pictured above), was named for H. Walter Evans, DO, professor of obstetrics, who organized and chaired the Department of Preventive Medicine and guided the College鈥檚 program during the post-war years. The building was billed as 鈥渢he last word in osteopathic-medical educational facilities.鈥

    In August 1977, 黑料传送门 acquired a five-story, 150,000-square-foot office building adjacent to the campus, located at 4190 City Avenue. Erected by a New York City firm, the building was constructed of glass window walls wrapped around steel-reinforced concrete support columns. It was renovated by the College to include classrooms and lecture halls, conference rooms, research and OPP labs, faculty offices, outpatient offices for staff physicians, a bookstore, business offices and a print shop, and a School of Allied Health.
