Grays Woods Partnership, Centre County
For the past 28 years, Keller Engineers has been involved with the planning and design of Grays Woods, a 600-acre mixed-use planned community located in Patton Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania.
Construction of this project has been underway in accordance with an official master plan for nearly 30 years utilizing a phased development approach, with over 1,800 residential units planned. The project is divided into distinct neighborhoods emanating from a central boulevard.
To date the project consists of 556 single-family homes and multi-family townhomes, as well as several commercial elements including churches, a school, and a daycare center. This development has occurred within five neighborhood areas including Graysdale, Marywood, Brynwood, Deerbrook, and Grays Pointe. Recreational opportunities within the community include two municipal parks, a designated shared use path/trail, and various common open space areas.
A unique element of the project is the design and construction of a roundabout located at the entrance to Gray’s Woods Elementary School.
Penn Cambria School District has collaborated the last 4 years with the Keller Engineer’s team to complete a multi-phased paving and drainage project on our HS campus. I have personally worked with Adam Long, Brian Smith and Shawn Ritchey throughout the entire project and they made Penn Cambria feel like we were their only client. The personal attention to our needs and specific details of this project were second to none. The communication aspect of the Keller Engineer Team was outstanding. We trust their process, their design and their commitment to a quality project that when completed, we are all very proud of. Bill Marshall, Superintendent Penn Cambria School District
