Allegheny Lutheran Social Ministries, Centre County
Lutheran Commons is a Department of Housing and Urban Development approved senior housing apartment complex. The project involved design and construction of a 12,500 SF apartment building containing 14-units, associated parking lot, street/driveway access, walkways, utility extensions, and stormwater management facilities. Three (3) rain gardens were designed to manage the site’s stormwater.
The project also included the site design to construct a 954 SF garage to be used for storage of maintenance vehicles and equipment. Additional development included associated access driveways, sidewalks, and infiltration sumps to address the small increase in impervious area.
We have worked with Keller Engineers for structural and civil engineering support on six projects over the past five years and have been very pleased with the results. Our projects tend to be complicated phased renovation/ addition projects calling for creativity in planning and construction. I have been particularity pleased with their responsiveness to issues that arise during construction which is of particular importance to us and our clients. Vern L.
