Allegheny West Foundation
In preparation for planned renovations at Panati Rec Center as part of Philadelphia’s Rebuild program, Collaborative volunteers worked with local teens to generate ideas that could be translated into architectural design strategies for a re-envisioned afterschool learning space. Using AIA Philadelphia/Center for Architecture’s Architecture in Education (AIE) curriculum, volunteers introduced students to the profession of architecture and design through weekly meetings that resulted in ideas for an improved Rec Center that includes space for exercise, vocational training, a maker-space and tech hub.
