PHILADELPHIA-The city's Civic Design Review board is calling for major changes to the design of the new Children's Hospital campus.
The Review Board at a session on Tuesday released 10 recommendations for improving the proposed high-rise campus that calls for three office towers and a hotel on the Schuylkill waterfront.
One issue of concern to some board members was the large parking garage that is part of the plan that would run from South to Christian streets, according to The Inquirer.
"To have a three-story wall, four city blocks long—this troubles me," said Cecil Baker, an architect and a member of the Civic Design Review board. "We've struggled for years to make connections to the river." See story in The Inquirer.
