Germantown Academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new academic building is a 160,000 square foot facility that incorporates the historic administration building with new learning environments for the Middle and Upper Schools. The project is the first phase in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s implementation of a sustainable master plan. One of the major goals of that master plan is to reconnect the school to the Wissahickon Creek, which runs through the campus, and to view it as an ecological and educational resource.

site / context On the campus of Germantown Academy, The Wissahickon Creek was once viewed more as a liability than as an asset. Many of the original buildings turned their backs on the creek, and service zones were located along that area. Subsequent additions to the campus accepted and reinforced that approach. Our design team was immediately struck by the untapped value of the creek as an environmental asset as well as a potential teaching tool. Detailed programming discussions with faculty revealed enormous interest in tying educational programs, particularly in science and the arts, to the ecology of the creek. Trustees and administrators quickly recognized that utilizing the creek in this fashion would provide tangible evidence of the Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to environmental stewardship, a marketing edge in competing with other private schools for students and a big vision around which to focus fund-raising. The master plan that has been developed will be implemented in three phases. It will incrementally remove out-molded facilities and inappropriate uses along the creek edge, and replace them with restored wetlands, re-forested areas, usable open spaces and new structures that embrace and encourage interaction with this exceptional natural asset. Phase 1 efforts, now complete, included the construction of the new LEED Gold rated upper/middle school and the first segment of the environmental learning landscapes, the reconfiguration of all athletic fields setting them back from the flood plain, the re-establishment of wetlands, and the design of nature trails throughout the site.

Existing Site Plan

Germantown Academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current campus was developed in the mid-nineteen sixties on a 118 acre parcel in Fort Washington, PA. The site is bisected by the Wissahickon Creek, an environmentally rich and recreationally popular preserve of more than 4,100 acres.

Proposed Site Plan

gathering spaces

UPPER SCHOOL “HOUSE” SPACE

Conceptually, the new Upper School (US) Middle School (MS) structure is organized into two separate bars and connected with a glass link. The link houses the main entrance into the US/MS and becomes the shared academic center with computer labs and the main library. The courtyard serves to redirect views out towards the creek area and extends the elements of the creek’s ecology up to the school.

The Upper School utilizes a variation of the English “house” system which assigns students to smaller social and service groups that cross grade lines, provide additional leadership opportunities, and encourages cross-pollination between class years. The design of the new building reinforces this organizational concept by providing inviting alcoves, open to the corridors, that serve as home bases for each of the School’s seven “houses”. At each floor level these house spaces are fully glazed along exterior walls. At the ground level this spaces provides access to the outdoor classroom spaces and environmental courtyards.

facades The raised central learning courtyard’s facade reflects a modern aesthetic, embracing the future of the program and it’s connection to the environment. Additionally in plan the courtyard facing walls rotate slightly to achieve a more desirable solar orientation. These design elements juxtapose the street, entrance, and campus-facing orthogonal stone facades which reflect the formal and traditional architecture of the campus. Combing these two elements provides exciting and open interior corridors that vary in width from start to end.

The new Upper School (US) Middle School (MS) configuration allows each school an identity in their own wing, but enhances the overall sense of community through a unified entrance. This central glass link serves as an academic center for the two schools and contains a common entrance lobby, shared library, computer labs and other common spaces. This cross-arm also forms a common circulation spine through the facility that is centered on and leads back to the existing administration building â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the iconic symbol of Germantown Academy.

Rather than mimic the Deco, Colonial, or 19th century industrial context, the design that meets the demands of the modern residential market, provides ground floor retail, and is sensitive to all of its neighbors.

context

History In 1956, the owner of the National Kitchen Products Company purchased 2,000 orange terra cotta tiles and grouted them onto 8 undistinguished 19th century townhouses of varying heights and opened his showroom. The design, attributed to Israel Demchick, including the tiles, modern signage, a zigzag canopy, and a new glass and aluminum storefront, stood out boldly in this original center of Philadelphia. It is listed on Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Register of Historic Places, the first modern design to have achieved that designation.

Site Plan

Several site strategies were evaluated in locating the Levitt Pavilion. With the requirement of seating 2,500 people on a sloped lawn surface, it was quickly recognized that First Street, in its existing location, created a very narrow viewing constraint for the audience. As a result the street was re-designed as a bowed inflection at the intersection of Founders Way. This not only created better viewing angles, but it also placed the Levitt Pavilion as a focal point within the campus, and united the various adjacent plazas to establish a real sense of community.

materials Conceptually, the concessions and back of house spaces required of the pavilion are housed in a simple bar building. Organized linearly to meet the constraints of the narrow site, the building is clad in dark brick, recalling industrial refractory bricks. This allows the lighter, shinier stainless steel perforated plates of the shell to contrast with its background to frame the stage.
