BSI Construction provided Construction Management Services including Pre-Construction Budget Development, Procurement, and Construction Phase Management for a four level addition to the existing Independence Charter School located in Center City Philadelphia. This Project included underpinning the existing school facility and adjacent property structure. The goal of the project was to maximize the functionality of the limited space available for a cafeteria, gymnasium, playground, and additional classrooms. The result was a new cafeteria and full service kitchen located on the lower level, with a gymnasium and classrooms on the upper floors, and a rooftop playground with a rubber paver system and synthetic grass. This new addition provides specialty spaces to enrich the school experience for the students. The exterior finishes of the addition included brick matching the exterior of the existing building and incorporating a cement panel rainscreen along the upper floors to provide a more modern accent to the nearly 100 year old existing structure.
