The document is a floor plan and rendering for an alternative education center designed for at-risk teens. The center was designed by BWA Architecture + Planning for their client, the Byron Story Foundation, and won Project of the Year in 2006 from the AIA Philadelphia Community Design Collaborative. Key features of the design include flexible instruction and counseling spaces, and a translucent facade that emits a faint glow at night to serve as a "Beacon of Hope" for the community.

Located one parcel down from their existing re-
purposed facility, this pro-bono project sought to
develop a tailor-made facility for the Foundation’s
unique approach to the mentorship of troubled
teens. Featuring flexible spaces for instruction
andcounseling, and a fully night-lit translucent
façade, this proposal aims to reinforce the Byron
Story Foundation’s well-earned reputation as a
“Beacon of Hope.”
