MDSA celebrates West Labs completion at 3.0 University Place

Excited to share the completion of the West Labs at 3.0 University Place in Philadelphia’s University City district. This marks another successful project delivered through the MDSA Strategic Alliance (McDonald Building Company and Dale Corporation). The project included the construction of approximately 20,000 SF of combination lab and office suites on the third floor of one of the region’s premier life sciences and office buildings. The goal was to create flexible, move-in-ready workspace that could support a range of tenants across life sciences, technology, and professional services. These suites feature modern finishes, adaptable workspaces, and collaborative areas designed to help tenants move in quickly while tailoring the space to their needs.

Located within one of Philadelphia’s most active innovation corridors, 3.0 University Place stands out as a LEED and WELL Platinum-certified life sciences building - one of the first of its kind in the United States. The project helps provide high-quality workspace for companies looking to establish or expand their presence in University City. Thank you to the partners and teams who helped bring this project to completion, especially our partners at University Place Associates and CRB Architects & Engineers, along with the many trade partners whose collaboration made the project possible.

And a big thank you to the MDSA team and our field leadership for their work on this project - Jeff Graef (Project Executive), Ali Perkey, CHC (Project Manager), Robert Whartnaby, Jr. (Superintendent), BETH CICHONSKI (Project Coordinator), and Daniel McDonald (Project Accountant). We’re proud to support the continual growth and innovation in Philadelphia’s life sciences community! #buildingontrust #upaphila #MDSA #lifesciences #4101market #philadelphia #universitycity
