Tangen Hall

PennConnects Logo

Located on the northeast corner of 40th and Sansom streets, Tangen Hall is the physical “start here” button for aspiring entrepreneurs and innovators at the University of Pennsylvania.  Made possible by the AKO Foundation, the charitable foundation established by Nicolai Tangen, W'92 and Katja Tangen, Tangen Hall houses Venture Lab, a partnership by the Wharton School, Penn Engineering, and the Stuart Weitzman School of Design to consolidate Penn’s startup ecosystem and to provide experiential learning to all Penn students.

The building also includes incubator spaces to pilot student-led ventures such as a Makerspace, Test Kitchen, and Integrated Product Design (IPD) space in partnership with the School of Engineering and Applied Science and Penn Design. At 68,000 sq. ft. and 7 stories, Tangen Hall is the largest hub of its kind on any college campus.
