Phase II is designed to house commercial, office and support retail for Phase I (University of Delaware’s College of Health Sciences). It is positioned to the south of Phase I and shares a “party wall”. Phase II contains approximately 70,000 square feet of rentable space positioned on two levels. Areas of floor 1 will have 20-foot ceiling heights and area overlooked by floor 2. The front, or east, elevation of the building features an arcade that provides weather-protected pedestrian circulation between the various users. Phase I and Phase II’s exterior has a semi-reflective glazing with warm gray mullions to accentuate the building’s fenestration and a masonry envelope that is reminiscent of limestone with a granite base.
The East and West entrances connect the commercial, office and amenity spaces with Phase I. There is also a main stair tower and elevator in the building’s lobby providing access to the second floor suites.
The building has ample parking, lit for safety, at its south and east sides. There are two hardscaped outdoor seating areas at the northeast and southwest corners, with beautifully landscaped perimeter boundaries.
