Robert Schattner Center
240 South 40th Street
This 70,000-square-foot facility, opened in 2002 during the school's 125th
Anniversary celebration, is the new gateway to Penn's School of Dental
Medicine, tying together the School's historic Thomas W. Evans Building and
its Leon Levy Center for Oral Health Research. The Schattner Center offers
dental care to the campus and West Philadelphia communities in its
state-of-the-art clinics, which have also greatly enhanced the school's
research and educational resources. The adjacent Evans Building, dedicated
in 1915, contains administrative offices, classrooms, dental clinics and
the school library, and the adjoining Leon Levy Center, dedicated in 1969
and home to the basic science faculty, is the hub of the school's research
activities. Among the Schattner Center's other features is conference and
office space and a gallery in the atrium area that will feature items from
the collection of the school's first major benefactor, Philadelphia dentist
Thomas W. Evans, whose patients included Emperor Napoleon III of France.
