St. Joseph’s Prep Field House
St. Joseph’s Preparatory School
Philadelphia, PA

A multi-phase project included a four-story Service Building to house locker rooms, a wrestling room, and service spaces. Columns and foundations along the north wall of the Service Building were designed to support the roof trusses from the Field House that was built as a second phase. The Field House is a 230' x 110' rectangular space with a height of 41' from floor to ceiling. Ten steel roof trusses span the width of the space and support a flat roof designed as a practice field. An interior running track is supported by hangers suspended from the roof trusses.
