Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Roman Catholic High School occupies an important place in the hearts of many Philadelphians and the building has been a landmark in Center City since its construction in 1890. The new, 25,000-square-foot, two-story addition by Daniel J. Keating Company complements the historic building seamlessly. The steel-framed addition contains a library and media center, classrooms, and expanded cafeteria. The design utilizes contemporary building technology in a modern interpretation of the school's Gothic revival architectural tradition. The project also entailed the extensive renovation of the existing 40,000-square-foot structure, including main corridors and stairwell, gym upgrades, science classrooms, administrative offices, and a new student services suite. All the windows were replaced and the exterior masonry of the historic building was restored.
