Scope Of Work
The West Oak Lane Charter School is located at 7109-7173 Stenton Avenue in Philadelphia. The construction consists of a 60,500 square foot addition to the charter school. The project will nearly triple the size of the existing school and more than double its enrollment capacity from 700 to 1,500 students. The addition, designed by JKR Partners, LLC of Philadelphia, provides for 31 new classrooms and a gymnasium on two floors. A partial basement will house a library, computer lab, conference area, storage and utilities. Building plans feature a 2-story atrium, and dome skylights. Work also includes demolition of an existing 10,800 square foot building on the lot to make way for the addition, a new playground and reconfigured parking and bus lanes. Earth Engineering Incorporated conducted a complete subsurface investigation for the school. The investigation consisted of field test borings and infiltration testing program, laboratory soils testing and a complete geotechnical engineering analysis and findings report. EEI also performed environmental and construction quality control services for the project.
