This Athletic Center is a Win for the Environment<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

2023 Best of Year Winner for Early Education<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The country\u2019s oldest Quaker school boasts a brand-new building to house its robust K-12 athletic program\u2014one that also switch-hits as the heart of its academic campus in Philadelphia via a vibrant lobby\/common space complete with a nutrition bar, store, student lounge, and study areas. Designed by EwingCole<\/a>, a second-floor classroom with glass wall permitting views of the buzzy space below, plus a soaring geometric feature wall pairing oak veneer and acoustic panels combine to make the most of the airy double-height volume. Nestling half of the Graham Athletics & Wellness Center’s 87,000 square feet below-grade, meanwhile, minimized its impact on the landscape and the environment, reducing energy use and solar heat gain to boot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
