EJC Design Profile Featured in AIA Philadelphia’s Context Magazine

The Philadelphia American Institute of Architects (AIA)’s Context magazine featured a design profile for the Equal Justice Center (EJC) building.

Context highlighted the EJC’s energy efficiency and its convenience for clients, allowing them to commute to one centrally located building for legal aid services. Context mentions how the shared facility model of the EJC promotes of inter-agency collaboration and operational efficiency through reduced expenses, more efficient delivery of legal service, and maximized resources to increase capacity to a wider range of clients.

Context also referenced the development's active design process that has included input from the building’s tenants, the Chinatown community, and the City of Philadelphia as a whole.

Context called the EJC as a “symbol of the City of Philadelphia’s commitment to the promise of equality under law,” and as an “enduring structure that will continue to give back to the City and the Greater Philadelphia region by transforming access to justice through innovative design, collaboration, and social impact.”

The full design profile is available in Philadelphia AIA’s Fall 2018 issue of Context.
