On June 10, Drexel University will be unveiling its newest green space, Drexel Square, and to celebrate, the school is holding an event with food, music and — naturally — a skyscraper-sized LED screen with games designed by area middle schoolers.

The space is the first completed part of the Schuylkill Yards, a 14-acre development project from Brandywine Realty Trust (more on that here). Located at the corner of 30th and Market streets, the event will feature a public showcase of the student’s games on the 29-story Cira Centre building.
