Penn's School of Medicine is potentially interested in purchasing a vacant former Dupont lab in nearby Delaware County.
Med School officials said they are not sure how much of the nearly 125,000 square foot property the school is considering purchasing but that the research-and-development location will most likely be used as interim or storage space.
The Glenolden, Pa., building's laboratories were most recently updated to FDA standards in 1998, and the infrastructure was last renovated in 2000, school officials said.
The seven total acres of biopharmaceutical offices, chemical labs and animal facilities could cost about $10 to $14 million, according to CBR Ellis, a national commercial real-estate company handling the Dupont property.
