VSBA recently completed the transformation of this 1970s apartment tower into PCOM’s first campus residence.
The Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) teaches graduate students holistic approaches to medicine, “treating people, not just symptoms.” Lacking on-campus housing, PCOM was a commuter school with limited campus life accommodations. So when Overmont House — a 1971 apartment building for elderly residents at the edge of PCOM’s campus — became available, the College purchased the building to convert it into the campus’s first residential hall.
