Convention Centre Commons, LLC, Blair County
This project consisted of constructing a new, multi-use commercial development on 31 acres in Allegheny Township, Blair County, PA. The space holds a 12-screen multiplex movie theater, 13,000 SF shopping center, a stand-alone restaurant, a 93-room hotel, and a 26,000 SF office building.
Site improvements included construction of paved parking areas, utility extensions, sidewalks, and stormwater management facilities. Traffic improvements included design and construction of a high-volume roadway, turning lanes on Convention Center Boulevard, and the installation of signal lights.
There were approximately 20 design sketches until final layout determined.
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.
