Community Vision for the Adaptive Reuse of Schenley High School-Community Improvement through Involvement

OPDC builds a better Oakland through job placement services, neighborhood preservation and investment programs, resident volunteer efforts, youth services and community engagement.

We connect people and organizations with diverse concerns and perspectives, based on shared goals arrived at through open dialogue and direct action. The result is an economically stronger, more culturally cohesive, more action-oriented, and more actively employed, engaged and inclusive Oakland community.

The community has created a vision for the adaptive reuse of the Schenley High School building in advance of its likely sale to a developer by the Pittsburgh Public Schools.
