Westminster Theological Seminary - Phase 2

2960 Church Road, Cheltenham, PA · 29,847 sq ft non-residential, institutional · 16.0 acres

About this project

Westminster Theological Seminary is amending its already-approved campus plan at 2960 Church Road in Cheltenham. The plan replaces the existing academic and chapel building with a new three-story academic building, with the chapel to be added later, and the seminary plans to demolish that older building to make room for a public outdoor gathering space. The revised layout covers about 16 acres, adds roughly 29,847 square feet of non-residential space, and reduces paved area compared with the earlier approval.

County planning commission: Supports, with comments

Issues raised: Gravel pathway parallel to Church Road does not connect to the parking/turnaround or other walkways, Pedestrian routes needed during and after phased construction of the academic building, Overall site plan showing the new building layout was not included
