It was back in August when we told you about some exciting news regarding the newest project from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). This new tower, currently named the Schuylkill Avenue Research Building (SARB), will complement the existing Roberts Center and will provide a second structure to CHOP's growing
