The International Bioethics Center on Thomas Jefferson University’s Campus explores the contrasts between professionals in the Bioethics field and visitors of the immediate Philadelphia area.

Visitors and Bioethicists merge through experiencing spaces that interrupt the coexistence of their opposing attitudes.

The International Bioethics Center allows this relationship through expanding spatial possibility for discussion and observation.

Interactive relationships between public gathering spaces and private study spaces serve users the freedom to experience the multitude of Bioethics.
