Key Projects:
Juniata College — Founders Hall Additions and Renovations
The four-story structure, originally constructed in 1876, was completely restored including removal and reconstruction of the building's north wing. In addition, the monumental wood stair was replaced with a new steel-framed stair. The building will continue to provide administrative services for the entire College.
University of Pittsburgh — Darragh Street Housing
The project included four, four- to five-story wood-framed structures built into an extensive hillside. The buildings (two sets of paired structures constructed adjacent to each other) totaled over 110,000 square-feet and houses approximately 150 medical students.
FEDEX Ground — Corporate Headquarters Expansion
FedEx Ground is a industry leader in providing overnight and freight delivery. The project met the expanding need to provide these delivery services throughout the country. The facility serves as the corporate and operational headquarters and communication center.
St. Kilian Parish — Education Center
The steel-framed and reinforced masonry bearing wall structure utilizes exterior exposed structural steel throughout the facility. The gymnasium and cafeteria roof structures utilize exposed custom steel trusses with dove-tail acoustical deck. The classroom wing utilizes composite steel floor framing and deck along with steel roof framing and roof deck. A large portion of the classroom structure is expressed within the corridors and classrooms. Shallow foundations with reinforced masonry were utilized throughout the project.
