KMA was joined by members of the project team to proudly accept a Grand Jury Award in the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia’s 2026 Preservation Achievement Awards program for our work on the Kingsessing Library and Recreation Center, a Rebuild Philadelphia project. The project represents a transformational community-based investment to provide a safe haven for youths and a unifying neighborhood amenity spanning generations and ethnicities. KMA served as architect of record on both projects under one contract. For award details, visit the Preservation Alliance’s flipbook HERE.
