Penn Wharton Entrepreneurship is hosting a furniture competition to design the lobby of Tangen Hall, a hub for students who want to develop start-ups set to open in fall 2020.
The Tangen Hall Furniture Competition, spearheaded by Wharton's Vice Dean of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Karl Ulrich and the Venture Lab, allows individuals and teams to submit furniture designs for the lobby of Tangen Hall, designed by KSS Architects which cost $46 million to build and will be located at the intersection of 40th and Samson streets. At least 10 designs will be selected for actual creation, of which at least six must be Penn-affiliated submissions. Cash prizes of $1,000 are awarded to each winning team or individual applicant, according to the competition's website. Ulrich said he created this contest because he wanted the Penn community to play an innovative role in the building's construction, especially because Tangen Hall is being built for entrepreneurs.
