The Timothy School

campus master planning

Berwyn, PA 

The Timothy School is the oldest non-profit approved private school in Pennsylvania devoted exclusively to teaching students with autism. For over 50 years, the school has worked to develop an understanding of autism that recognizes the strengths and uniqueness of our children and the specialized methods needed to expand their educational opportunities.

HSA worked with The Timothy School to identify and plan either selective renovations and additions to three existing buildings or a completely new academic building, as well as improvements to the campus site/parking. It was ultimately decided to demolish the existing structure and build new. The project goal is to better serve class sizes and restroom needs/adjacencies, selective window replacement, building infrastructure improvements, and the Main Building entry. ADA compliance and inclusive indoor and outdoor spaces are top priority, especially with the site grading. Sitework will include new paved parking, limited regrading, new sidewalk connections, new site lighting, and multiple inclusive play and sport spaces .
