The massiveness of the structure shaped by the predetermined location of the basketball court could have been overwhelming. The entrance façade became a canvas; keeping the strength and volume of the construction, while incorporating a gentle and subtle conversion to a flat plane. This was accomplished through the use of color, bold yellow and cobalt blue, and the geometric pattern of glass block fenestration that penetrates the façade. As with the exterior of the building the choice of strong concepts and details define the interior of the Student Activity Center.

The state-of-the-art facility serves as the permanent practice site of a major professional basketball team, the Philadelphia 76ers, now an integral part of life at PCOM. The four-level complex includes features such as an NBA-regulation court, private coaches; offices; a media room; private training and locker rooms; and height-adjusted weight machines. The design of the interior space allows the Sixers to have privacy and the PCOM students to have full access to the areas that they need to use. Students at the college will benefit from the aerobics room, racquetball courts, a rooftop multipurpose court, and a beautiful lounge, game room, and multimedia room. The second floor lounge is a place for relaxation in busy medical students' lives and also offers opportunities to socialize in the game room.
