The North Philadelphia Seventh Day Adventist Church is renovating an old building adjacent to their property on the 1600 block of West Oxford Street into a community center that will incorporate student housing.

Elder Keith S. Goodman Sr, the church pastor, said the renovation will include an expansion of church offices and new apartments, some of which will be used for student housing.

Goodman declined to comment further on the construction process, costs or an expected due date.
