The presentation of the school designs to Philadelphia Schools CEO Paul Vallas is

the culmination of a three-month civic dialogue involving input from Philadelphians on how they'd like to see the city's

school system make $1.6 billion in building renovations and construction.

The public forums, which began in March, linked citizens' voices with expert

opinion from architects, city planners and education leaders.  

The event is open to the public.  The proposed school building designs will be on display.  

To attend the event on June 27, please RSVP to school@design.upenn.edu or 215-573-8720
