Scope Of Work
The Settlement School, founded in 1908, as the music program at the College Settlement, a typical turn-of-the-century settlement house offering a variety of services to newly arrived immigrant families in the Southwark section of South Philadelphia. It is an acknowledged leader in the national community school movement and, with more than 15,000 students, is the largest school of its kind in America with 6 different facilities.
The purpose of phase 1 is to prepare, by softening, the existing finish to receive a coat of urethane. In this particular example, the chemical process with abrasion lightened this floor by removing years of dirt and grease buildup, along areas of failing urethane.
