Radnor ABC is part of the national A Better Chance Program, which provides academically-talented students of color from underserved communities the opportunity to attend top high schools. ABC students attending Radnor High School live in Radnor ABC’s 1920s-era frame house and carriage house. A conceptual design by the Collaborative will guide renovations and a new addition to the facility. An expanded kitchen and better common spaces to dine, study, and relax will enhance student quality of life. In the process, the original architectural character of the buildings will also be restored.
