Cedarbrook Middle School - Building Additions & Renovations
300 Longfellow Road, Cheltenham, PA · 18,972 sq ft non-residential, school · 34.11 acres
About this project
The Cheltenham School District plans two additions to Cedarbrook Middle School at 300 Longfellow Road in Wyncote, totaling about 18,972 square feet. The project also reconfigures the parking lots, adds one parking space, and upgrades two underground stormwater beds. Some driveway and pavement areas will be removed, so impervious coverage grows by only about 13,330 square feet.
