Well they haven’t invited me in yet for a tour but the outside of Frankford Friends new school building really is interesting. There is a beautiful sunlit vaulted open space that kind of brings the outside in. The exterior is a warm wood material that really dresses up the block.

It does look to be within a few months of opening and I will be there.
