Perelman Quadrangle, also known as Perelman Quad, is an area of the University of Pennsylvania's campus in West Philadelphia that was redeveloped in 2001 in conjunction with a comprehensive renovation of Houston Hall. The renovation, performed by the architectural firm of Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, also built a large open plaza formerly known as Wynn Commons, named for real estate businessman Steve Wynn. The name was changed to Penn Commons in February 2018 amid sexual misconduct allegations.[2][1]
Perelman Quad also offers event spaces in several adjacent buildings.[3] Perelman Quad staff also manage public spaces in several other campus buildings.[4]
