Project Description

Through decades of tireless processes and rigor this building housed a car dealership, a manufacturing facility, and a vocational school. TECH Freire Charter School renovated this building to ignite an empowering high school experience of community, project-based, hands-on learning enhanced through technology.
The prominent glass façade offers a glimpse of the school’s flexible creative spaces accommodating a variety of tools for young makers and entrepreneurs to think critically and solve real-world problems. As a catalyst to the neighborhood, TECH Freire’s students and its school are equipped for the future while revitalizing North Broad Street.
