Join us for a lecture by Fon Wang on projects that are changing the way we view preservation.

Fon Wang joined the architecture/engineering firm Ballinger in August 2015 as director of historic preservation. Significant projects include a major renovation of the former Provident Mutual Life Insurance Company complex  and the adaptive reuse of the Corn Exchange National Bank in the National Historic District of Old City.

Notable projects included five ground-up stations along the Market Street Elevated Train, the renovation of Historic Wayne Junction Station, and the renovation and addition to the historic campus for the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf (originally Germantown Academy). The firm’s renovation of Humphrey Hall, the first building on the campus of Cheyney University of Philadelphia, and  the modernization of historic Wayne Junction Station received grand jury awards from the Preservation Alliance of Greater Philadelphia.
