Lombard Renovation

Starting on Monday, June 12th, The Philadelphia School will begin renovations to its Lombard building. TPS will be renovating the play yard along 25th Street, replacing the current asphalt with an all-new play surface and equipment, along with over 1,000 square
feet of landscaping with 15 trees and hundreds of flowers! There will also be upgrades inside the building to increase energy efficiency and create more dynamic spaces for our community.

We are excited to unveil our newly renovated space to the community! Construction will continue through October, and we will keep this page updated with new information as it is available. 

We expect the sidewalk and parking spots on 25th Street to reopen by the first day of school on September 6th while construction continues within the school grounds.
