The Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) conducts and disseminates research, hosts lectures, and convenes roundtable discussions highlighting questions about the intersection of media, communication, and public policy. The APPC’s new facility contains offices, conference rooms, broadcast facilities, and a multi-purpose Agora, housing a variety of APPC and university events. The project is located near the center of Penn's campus, surrounded by older brick and limestone structures. Its material palette of layered glass and wood complements nearby buildings, while still presenting a modern and open image of warm transparency.
