Our team took a visit to the Houston Market construction site, which is slated to finish up and start serving food in just a few weeks. SMP led a large multidisciplinary design team for the re-conceptualization and renovation of the space. Located in the lower level of Houston Hall at the University of Pennsylvania, the market sits within the oldest student union building in the nation. Key project goals were to diversify food offerings, allow each food platform to function independently, and extend operating hours for the market and its seating spaces.
