Philadelphia High School of Creative and Performing Arts
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania


The historic Ridgway Library reopened in 1997, transformed into the new home for this Magnet High School of the Arts. The SMS design provides the Drama Department with three workshop studios for acting classes and two dedicated practice rooms for the instrumental and choral needs of the Music Department. A beautiful new wing houses a newly constructed 350-seat theatre.
