CHOP's Raymond G. Perelman Campus

Constructed on former Civic Center land, CHOP’s eight-acre Raymond G. Perelman Campus, which honors Perelman’s donation of $50 million, includes two major buildings and a landscaped venue and walkway between the buildings, which have complementary functions. The campus is located just south of CHOP’s main hospital. This photo shows the Buerger Center for Advanced Pediatric Care, funded by Perelman. This 12-story facility provides state-of-the-art outpatient care for children and conducts clinical trials. Located on former Civic Center land just south of the Buerger Center is the Ruth and Tristram Colket, Jr. Translational Research Building, named for the building’s donors. At this state-of-the-art pediatric research building, research discoveries are “translated into new drugs, techniques and therapeutic approaches” that are applied at the Buerger Center as well at children’s healthcare facilities worldwide.
