Adler Athletic Complex Expansion
The Pennsylvania State University
This project included a 37,000 SF expansion to the existing Adler building. The expansion houses classrooms, a new gymnasium, and fitness center. The construction of six new tennis courts was also included in the project.
After a complete study of Spring Run to determine the location of the 100-year floodplain, stormwater for the project was managed with four Bio Retention areas placed in strategic locations around the perimeter of the building. Also included are two underground pipe detention systems, and a series of infiltration trenches. Managed stormwater is then released directly to Spring Run and the existing stormwater conveyance system.
Project Uniqueness/Challenges:
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
