Rethinking spaces for a prestigious Philadelphia fashion program

This renovation project presented Strada with the chance to work with a fashion and textile design program ranked amid the top ten in the world.

Philadelphia University’s Fashion and Textiles Futures Center celebrates the history of this premier program while promoting collaboration-based active learning, research, and practice. Student designs and collections are featured throughout the facility in new transparent displays, interspersed among open design studios and fabrication labs, and computer labs, creating a constantly rotating exhibit of the department’s output. The flexible learning environment also enhances partnerships with industry leaders to more closely connect students to current and future career opportunities.
