Co Architects presents expansion plans for Philadelphia school facilities

The Loudon City Planning meeting held on June 5, 2025, focused on the proposed expansion of a residential district and the development of educational facilities. The meeting featured Marky James Smith from Co Architects, who presented plans for two new additions to a school.

The first addition includes a new entrance with a secured vestibule, seven classrooms, an auditorium, and an administrative area. The second addition will add four additional classrooms to the southern part of the building. Smith noted that the project also involves minor modifications to the driveway in front of the school, including a circular drop-off area.

During the discussion, Smith emphasized that the changes primarily affect the building's footprint, while the existing driveways and parking areas will remain largely unchanged. He invited questions and concerns from the attendees, indicating a willingness to address any issues related to the project.

The meeting concluded with a call for motions regarding the proposed developments, although no specific resolutions or votes were recorded in the transcript. Overall, the session highlighted the city's ongoing efforts to enhance educational infrastructure while maintaining community engagement in the planning process. Further steps will likely follow as the project progresses.
