Freire Charter School

This project incorporated an aggressive midschool year schedule to convert a 25,000 square foot former YMCA facility in downtown Philadelphia, including the restoration of historically significant interior facades, into the new home of a Philadelphia Charter School.

The project called for detailed plaster restoration, refurbishing of an indoor gymnasium, and the creation of new classrooms, offices, and auxiliary space. Erickson followed a fast-track schedule, successfully installing new mechanical and electrical systems, as well as new ADA-compliant elevators designed to meet all updated requirements.
