Huntingdon Area School District
The new 110,000 SF, two-story school was constructed on the existing middle school parking lot. Because the soil was highly expansive, the foundations for the first-floor construction are caissons to bedrock with concrete grade beams and shallow precast double tees. The construction is a combination of precast walls and roof planks, as well as load bearing masonry walls.
The existing middle school was demolished upon completion of the new 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
