Built in 1927 for the newly formed Fidelity-Philadelphia Trust Co., the 600,000 sf building remains a strong and proud presence on S. Broad Street. This was one of the last Beaux-Arts skyscrapers to be built in America before the Great Depression. #112yearsandcounting

Named for Lehigh alumni, James W Packard (1884), Packard Laboratory was constructed by over 200 men from Irwin & Leighton and designed by Visscher and Burnley. Despite record rainfall that season, Packard Lab opened in June of 1929.

I&L is proud to be working with ECRI to manage the design/build project for their corporate renovation project. March kicked off with the demo of a portion of the building in order to bring this reno to life! #designbuild #112yearsandcounting
