WHYY, Inc. is a Pennsylvania non-profit corporation which operates TV12 and 91FM, community public television and radio stations, respectively.

The Learning Lab at WHYY is a facility designed to teach the regional community to express itself through digital technology. In partnership with WHYY's many community partners, The Learning Lab will be integrated with and expand WHYY’s pre-existing 60,000 square foot Technology Center.

The new building’s main features will include the 4,100 square foot Lincoln Financial Digital Media Education Studio, two media classrooms, a student-based digital control room, and editing suites for hands-on education. The building also has meeting space and a reception/display area showcasing the latest works of learning lab students. The Learning Lab will be part media laboratory, part classroom, part performance and production space, and most importantly, a center for connectivity across the spectrum of media platforms, giving all citizens from all walks of life the ability to connect more fully with their own communities.

The building design features an innovative translucent rain screen façade, the first of its kind in Philadelphia.
