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.
