Sowinski Sullivan provided architectural design services for the reopening of PATCO’s Franklin Square Station in Philadelphia, which opened in 1936 and was used sporadically until its closing in 1979. The redesigned station provides passengers with much-needed convenient access to this underserved section of the city. The new headhouse at street level creates a bold contemporary light-filled space for those entering the station and provide an alluring experience for those ascending from the station below. The appearance of much of the existing lower-level platforms will be maintained while being updated with modern technology and made ADA compliant. The original tile walls will be fully cleaned and repaired to bring them up to a state of good repair. SSA is also designing station signage, support spaces, and code-compliant vertical circulation. Other features of the restoration include bike storage, a green roof, and an entry plaza.
