Newark, Delaware

The University of Delaware decided to move the College School and Laboratory Preschool out of Alison Hall due to a major renovation there. The College School works with children with learning differences in grades 1 through 8 with the goal or returning the children back to their local school one their challenges have been properly resolved. The Laboratory Preschool is for children aged 2 through 6. These two schools were informed by the University they must both be house in an existing, windowless metal building that was built to house an animal testing facility but was never used for that use and was left empty. To say the least, the directors of the two schools were not thrilled by their first impression of the building. In addition, the square footage each needed to accommodate their needs would not fit in the existing building. Due to a thorough process to understand each schools needs as well as the creativity to create a well lit, pleasant environment, the director of the College School commented that the project ended up being “an optimal learning environment” which makes their previous space pale in comparison.

The project entailed the renovation of a former facilities building to create offices for three distinct education centers from the University’s Department of Education. Creative use of ceiling planes allowed this utilitarian structure to become an pleasant work environment.

Three-level, 500-vehicle pre-cast concrete deck which was designed for a tight sight in the core of the University’s traditional main campus. This parking structure was able to fit in seamlessly due to a new 40,000 sf administration building that was included as part of the project which effectively allowed the parking facility to be shielded from view.

The US Department of Labor wanted to create the first job corps center in the State of Delaware. The design of this 38,000 vocational training facility enjoyed wonderful opportunities to work with the sloping site topography to provide grade access at both floors as well as integrate architecturally with the industrial neighborhood, incorporating an old brick smokestack as an architectural element. The Cafeteria on the second floor of the building takes advantage of longer views which are unexpected in this dense urban environment. The greatest reward of this successful project is how young people now have a place to learn how to succeed through vocational education in culinary arts, computers, medical, business and maintenance.

This building had previously been converted from a car dealership used car dealership into space used by the University’s Bursar, Registrt and Financial Aid offices. The previous renovation created a poorly organized assemblage the students found confusing. The new project created an impressive “One-Stop-Shop” where the role of all three functions could be accommodated at one convenient location which provided a clearly understood procedure and high quality impression for the student to conduct their business.

The University of Delaware needed Alison Hall to be renovated, originally due to mold being present in the building due to water infiltration and bad mechanical ventilation. Due to the amount of people and programs affected in the 50,000sf classroom, office, laboratory building, the University decided to have the building reprogrammed in order to better accommodate existing users and provide superior space for new users in the building. The project needs to remain in operation while major renovations take place which include a gut rehab of the entire building including all systems and roofing with major floor plan changes. Therefore multiple phases needed to be expertly planned in the design in order to only move occupants once while keeping the project cost effective.

Lincoln University, Pennsylvania
Lincoln built a new science building which allowed Grim Hall to be changed from outdated science building into a state of the art computer classroom building with assembly space and office functions. A creative solution was created for this building which was previously inaccessible to wheelchairs. Due to the change of programming for the building, its loading dock was able to be changed into the main entrance to the building which allowed grade access to the first floor and an elevator which served all floors. The new entry also opened onto a pedestrian quad which was beautiful but underused. The new entry on the quad inspired future renovations to open to this same quad.

Lincoln University, Pennsylvania
The University needed a master plan. The initial intention of the university was just to provide a plan for a funding source in order to provide financing for proposed dormitories. Through hard work and advanced observation skills, the master plan encompassed the entire campus, providing guidance for placement of the dormitories as well as a myriad of other potential structures for the University. The campus which had a wide mix of old, stoic buildings as well as more hastily planned modern structures. The master plan helped organize the campus into logical regions and solved vehicular and pedestrian challenges in order to make the campus into a jewel.

The client, an educational agency providing for the special needs of all of the school districts in Chester County, found that their increasing population as well as aging infrastructure required substantial help. The project included a substantial addition which contained 15 classrooms, gymnasium, assembly space, instructional food service facility and redesign of the site to allow for more efficient parking/circulation as well as better site accommodations for student recreation. The total renovation of the existing building included floor plan changes, total mechanical, electrical, plumbing replacement, window and roof replacement. This project was designed and constructed in two phases in order to allow for continual occupancy.
