The Edward W. Bok Technical High School was a public high school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, designed by Irwin Catharine and named after Edward William Bok. It was completed in February 1938 by the Public Works Administration (WPA) as a vocational high school at 8th & Mifflin Streets. As part of the Philadelphia Public Schools' Multiple Property Submission, the school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in December, 1986. Bok High School was reorganized in 2006-2007 to prepare students for jobs in modern technology. After the 2012-2013 school year, the school was closed.

In Summer 2014, Bok was put up for auction by the School District and the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation. Scout was selected as the developer in September 2014 and has proposed converting the building into a new destination for makers, creatives, innovators and entrepreneurs.

The “Building Bok” project involves renovations to 350,000 square feet to provide community amenities, artists space and a boutique hotel.
