The Revitalization of Saint Patrick Hall
PYOMI has launched its boldest initiative to date: the Revitalization of Saint Patrick Hall, aimed at expanding PYOMI’s facilities and accessibility. With $1.77 million already secured, Phase One began in summer 2025, with Phases Two and Three continuing through the end of 2026. This revitalization will include an elevator, accessible entrance ramp and restrooms, facade and roof repairs, and sound and interior amenity upgrades – all designed to ensure a more accessible, functional facility for expanded programming.
This effort is supported by the Walter R. Garrison Foundation, the William Penn Foundation, and the Presser Foundation. The revitalized Saint Patrick Hall will become a fully accessible, vibrant hub for student learning, rehearsal, and performance, meeting the growing needs of our expanding community.
