Tangen Hall will be the central location for Venture Lab, the Wharton-led, Penn-wide entrepreneurship programming. The approximately 70,000-square-foot facility at 40th and Sansom Streets will usher in a new era of innovation and entrepreneurship at Penn. The building will also house signature programs such as the Jay H. Baker Retailing Center; the Joshua J. Harris Alternative Investments Program; and the Stevens Center for Innovation in Finance.
Within its walls, state-of-the-art spaces have been specifically designed to spark creativity, foster collaboration, and enable students to prototype products. At Tangen Hall, students from all of Penn’s schools will find the resources and support they need to make their ideas a reality.
Pursuing startup ambitions means long nights of creative brainstorming and business planning. At Wharton, it also means having access to a state-of-the-art maker space, a test kitchen from a chef’s daydream—even a virtual reality cave. The new Entrepreneurship Building will be the first dedicated space for cross-campus student collaborative activities, containing elements modeled after today’s modern workplace, from incubators to open-floor plan offices reminiscent of leading tech companies. The building at 40th and Sansom Streets will provide up to 70,000 square feet of space comprising co-working spaces, pods for student teams, a colloquium hall, a cafe, and more.
