South East Lancaster Health Services
Lancaster, Pennsylvania
| MERIT AWARD - AIA CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE IN DESIGN |
Work included the design for new construction of a 14,500 sf clinic, housing medical, dental, counseling, community services and administrative offices.
The design responds to the adjacent, award-winning structure of the Lancaster Neighborhood Center while establishing an identity of its own. The steel cornice and trellis are examples of Victorian architectural elements which have been adapted from surrounding residential and commercial structures and incorporated into this contemporary building.
The small size of the urban site and the project program dictated the use of a two-story structure with the challenge of designing a logical allocation of spaces that works efficiently in a two-story arrangement.

Lancaster Neighborhood Center Renovation
Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Planning and design to update the thermal performance and appearance of this 20-year old award-winning, city-owned building. Weatherization, mechanical, electrical, accessibility and site improvements accounted for 75% of the budget for this $1.65M urban project.
