Restoring a Landmark. Inspiring Creativity.
Great academic buildings do more than house classrooms—they inspire the people who learn within them. Martin Hall has long been a defining part of Philadelphia’s educational landscape, and its renovation required a thoughtful balance of preserving architectural character while creating modern spaces designed to support creativity, collaboration, and academic excellence.
Klover partnered with the project team to provide commercial carpentry and interior construction services that helped transform this historic academic building for its next generation of students and faculty. Through careful coordination, skilled craftsmanship, and dependable execution, our team contributed to a renovation that respected the building’s legacy while preparing it for the future.
