The Ligouri Academy is a privately run school in north Philadelphia providing deserving students with an opportunity to grow and thrive in a supportive, ordered, yet creative environment.  The school recently acquired two buildings, one serves as the main school building and the second one will be a training center for hands on skills in the trades.

Woodcock Design, Inc. is developing a master plan for the schools’ headquarters and conceptual design for  a gym and training space in the 2nd, currently unused building. For the school headquarters, the design work includes repairs and roofing the 1854 era structure and renovations to classrooms and an existing performance/event space.  The performance space will feature a sound and lighting booth to enable performance.  The Liguori brand features a heart/book logo, which has been custom created for the event space as a wall covering. The space will also support a state of the art E-sports classroom, which will occupy the balcony of the theater.  In the training center building we are providing designs for renovation of an existing gym, integrating the strong branding already developed for the school into the imagery for the walls and floors using the school’s red color and noble falcon mascot.

The planning and design work is creating a sensible sequence of prioritized and coordinated construction projects.  The images and information generated by this work is enabling fundraising by demonstrating what the school will look like when investments are made and the designs are constructed.
