MW07-William H. Gray 30th Street Station and Schuylkill Yards

A world-class redevelopment is underway on the banks of the Schuylkill River in West Philadelphia. It’s been called one of the most exceptional transit-oriented developments in the nation and an opportunity for architects, engineers, planners and designers to lay the foundation for Philadelphia’s bright future. See the elements already built and hear directly from project partners about: the redevelopment of Amtrak’s William H. Gray 30th Street Station for a new era of rail transportation and local connectivity; the redevelopment of Schuylkill Yards by Brandywine Realty Trust as a transportation-centric district of parks, life sciences workspaces and residences; and the renovation of SEPTA’s Drexel Station into a modern transit gateway, the first to display the new SEPTA Metro wayfinding – and the first to involve station naming rights. Learn about this model of collaborative master planning and joint development, involving partnerships between public, private and academic institutions. Also learn about funding – including from the IIJA and PennDOT – and efforts to provide community benefits to the surrounding West Philadelphia neighborhoods.
