The redevelopment of the 4.5-acre Wanamaker Middle School site at 11th Street and Cecil B. Moore Avenue in Philadelphia will evolve into a mixed-use, privately owned student housing development for 2500 student residents. Phase I of WRT's master plan calls for renovating the existing school for 600 beds in 180 units, as well as a new Green Construction Training Center and an Arts & Education Forum. The project targets LEED Silver, maximizing the structure's potential for adaptive re-use, and incorporating recycled content materials, energy-efficient HVAC systems, and progressive stormwater strategies. Future phases include two new high-rise student residential structures, retail, a large open courtyard, and a structured parking facility.
