Pivot Park

Our Campus

The Science Center is located at uCity Square, a vibrant mixed-use community and home to our ecosystem.

While the Science Center was established in 1963 as the nation’s oldest and largest urban research park, the latest chapter of our real estate story began in 2015 when we announced our partnership with Wexford Science + Technology to expand and redefine what a knowledge community can be. Since then, Wexford has joined forces with Ventas, Inc. (NYSE:VTR), a leading investor in university-based research and innovation real estate. Together, at uCity Square the Science Center, Wexford and Ventas are forging a path forward.

Today uCity Square is home to over 200 science, technology and healthcare companies, ranging from a one-person startup to growing companies with hundreds of employees. The 8.0 million-square-foot mixed-use community consists of laboratory, clinical, office, retail, and residential space and programming that’s free and open to all.

As the central hub for medical and life science innovations, particularly in cell and gene therapy, uCity Square is surrounded by top-tier colleges and universities, independent research institutions, world-renowned hospitals, and is a center of connectivity for residents, students, professionals, and entrepreneurs alike. Driving Philadelphia’s economic growth in University City, uCity Square is a dynamic environment for innovation and collaboration between the private sector and top-tier research institutions.
