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.
For over 20 years I have had the privilege of working with Keller Engineers and their staff of surveyors, and civil and structural engineers on over $150 million worth of work. During these project relationships and partnering opportunities, my architectural teams have received nothing but premium professional services and courtesy towards my own staff, clients and prospective clients with stellar attention given to building and site details, client responsiveness and peer respect. I look forward to many more teaming opportunities and urge any other architectural firms, municipalities or clients who have not worked with Keller Engineers to do so. You will be pleasantly surprised! Richard L. Karcher, AIA, NCARB
