City Views Seven years ago, McKissick Associates began helping St. Stephen's Episcopal Cathedral in Harrisburg find space for its school. St. Stephen's had been running the school in its church at 221 N. Front St., but it was out of room.   Vern McKissick addressed members of the Pennsylvania Planning Association (PPA) during their recent annual conference in Harrisburg. McKissick provided background and insights regarding the recent renovation of St. Stephen's Episcopal Cathedral School during the Green Buildings Tour session of the conference. The church and school, located on Front Street in the city, was the first religious institution in the nation to register its facilities with the United States Green Building Council and has applied for a LEED™ (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating. The major renovation was to convert the one-block site's largest building, a four-story 1920s-era parking garage, into classroom and multipurpose space for the 200-student, K-8 school. According to McKissick, the St. Stephen's project is a clear example of how responsible, sustainable architecture should be achieved. "It's more than just designing a building; it's employing all available resources to create an improved, more efficient environment." He concluded the tour by explaining to the Pennsylvania Planning Association members that, "The city, the residents and developers all work together in Harrisburg to make these things work."
