Two large multipurpose rooms provide flexibility for staff training and jury duty gathering spaces. The design of eight non-jury courtrooms primarily serves civil cases. New Judges’ Chambers offer a better use of space, organized assistant area, group work spaces, improved connectivity to courtrooms, and potential expansion of the President Judge’s chambers. The general layout was improved upon with the concentric levels of security from the public access atrium lobby outward to the secure transport elevators and hallways, through the courtrooms and to the Judges’ Chambers and ancillary spaces.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1521661698765-2704O1E2S198P70VW4E5/DTInter.jpg Government Buchart Horn Architects developed an intermodal and parking facility (595 spaces) in Derry Township, Dauphin County, PA. Hershey Entertainment and Resorts (HE&R) owned the existing property. The construction of this facility is part of a broader plan to revitalize downtown Hershey. Other facets of this revitalization that had an impact on this project included: Concurrent renovation of a department store into first floor retail spaces as well as office space on the upper floors for HE&R Construction of museum to the memory of Milton S. Hershey Large-scale redevelopment of the properties immediately west and south of proposed parking facility site Realignment of Route 743 toward the east Derry Township Industrial & Commercial Development Authority (ICDA) was earmarked to receive grants totaling more than $4.5 million from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to develop intermodal components into the proposed parking facility. It also received another $3.0 million that ICDA would seek grant/other funding from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The scope of work included demolition of the laundry building on the site; the 595-space parking facility; accommodations for local bus traffic (including CAT and COLT buses); potential future connection to the Corridor Two light rail station adjacent to the Norfolk Southern Railroad, including expansion to four tracks; connection to a future trolley line immediately north of the Norfolk Southern Railroad; extension of a nearby hiker/biker trail to the facility including accommodations for bike storage; and potential connection to HE&R's future tram system. Two major issues influenced the project approach: construction of approximately half of the structured parking spaces to serve the needs of the occupants within the renovated Posers (Press) Building; and the potential lengthy review and approval process for the federal grant for the intermodal portion. With this in mind, Buchart Horn proposed that the facility be separated into three distinct phases: Phase 1 A two-level, 252-space structure along the east leg of the site. This portion would be designated primarily for the occupants of the Posers (Press) Building. To avoid lengthy review and approval processes, design and construction of this portion of the project was not funded by federal or state monies. Phase 2 The second phase was the demolition of the Hershey Laundry to make way for the subsequent construction of the Intermodal and Parking Facilities under Phase 3. Phase 3 The third phase included three-level, 343-space structure along the north leg of the site. This portion would be designated for use by the future westward development and intermodal interests. This structure's Study Phase, and a majority of the Design Phase, was simultaneous with Phase 2 for the east leg, thus ensuring a fully integrated facility. The construction phase would be partially funded by the FTA grant and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania grant contingent upon meeting the requirements imposed by the grant agreements. This phase of the project also included a 10-foot wide 140-foot long clear span pedestrian bridge spanning railroad tracks between the parking garage and bus station. The bridge consists of structural steel tube framed trusses shipped in prefabricated sections and field welded together. The trusses are supported on concrete piers at each end; the floor framing is reinforced concrete slab on a metal deck atop structural steel tubes. The structure is covered with an aluminum curtain wall system; the roof framing is light gauge metal roof trusses with pre-finished metal roof panels. In addition, we recommended that the Industrial & Commercial Development Authority consider a long-term lease versus ownership of the site to reduce acquisition delays and environmental liabilities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1521661525378-D3HOI5LLV1CNO65F187C/UATMunicipal.jpg Government BHA provide full structural engineering and construction administration services including building code review, visual survey of existing building conditions, and design and detailing of structural modifications to existing building for the renovation of the Upper Allen Municipal Serivces Building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1521661628505-GSX11QC7XEJJ35AR2PWB/LinkedIn1.jpg Government When the City of York determined the current City Hall Building was undersized for administrative operations, a move to an existing building downtown was made. The 132-person Police Department was the only function to remain in the four-story facility at the corner of Beaver and King Streets. Based on a feasibility study developed by BHA, City officials determined the location of City Hall made it an ideal candidate for renovation and would allow adequate space for a modern police facility. Though limited by a small footprint, the final design solution separates the demands of holding, patrol, detective, and administration. BHA developed a detailed program that was used to create a successful design solution. The building is organized to allow officers convenient access to evidence processing, duty bags, and locker facilities. Detectives use a secure entrance and have direct access to holding and interview rooms. Regrading of the tight site provided access to a two-car sallyport on the lower level with direct access to individual and group holding areas. Complying with state and national accreditation standards, individual holding areas are provided for male/female and adult/juvenile detainees. Construction was completed in four phases while the building remained occupied. Individual departments were moved several times to keep areas secure during construction. The seldom-used fourth floor is now used for training, fitness, and evidence storage due to the installation of a new elevator on the interior of the building, as the local Historical Review Board would not permit major exterior modifications. New perimeter fencing and the placement of an emergency generator also required Board approval. York City residents visiting the newly renovated building have limited access to the main lobby, which features impregnable transaction windows for Police and Records. An interview room and secure toilet room are the only other spaces accessible by the public. Upgrades included selected new finishes and major MEP upgrades. The design provides space for police administration, uniformed patrol division, investigative services, neighborhood enforcement division, support services/records, juvenile crime unit, prisoner handling, evidence, police support areas, armory, and locker rooms. The design complies with PA UCC, IBC building codes, and CALEA police regulations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1521665774051-7HCV9AK2GQNG8BDRIDV6/76655-03B.jpg Government Buchart Horn Architects designed a conversion of a former light industrial building to accommodate relocation of the York County Prison's work release program to a dedicated facility. Male inmates who qualify for the work release program are currently housed in modular trailers on the prison grounds, while female work release participants are quartered with regular minimum-security female inmates. To alleviate past overcrowding, York County Prison had transferred its male work release inmates to the modular trailers in 2002, with a pledge to develop a permanent solution within 10 years. The adaptive reuse of this newly purchased building will provide a durable, long-lasting facility for both male and female work release inmates and will accommodate 300 total inmates (225 male and 75 female). The new location, originally constructed as a truck tire service center in 1975 with additions in 1991 and 1992, is approximately 36,500 SF, a close match to the square footage required for the work release program. Exterior entrances and exits required upgrades, but no additions to the building were needed. Site improvements included sanitary sewer upgrades, landscape buffers, streetscape buffers, street lighting, parking lot upgrades, property corner monuments, and offsite roadway improvements. The requested 100 parking spaces were accommodated on site. Building improvements included a complete new thermal envelope achieved with 3" insulated metal wall panels and new roof decking and rigid insulation to meet the requirements of the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code, completely new mechanical, electrical and fire protection systems, and new accessible entry ramps for both males and females. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1521665575144-AIH0H3272EXIYZKOL07N/76708-00B.jpg Government Buchart Horn Architects was the lead design/build architect/engineer responsible for preparing final construction documents from the bridging documents provided by the Pennsylvania Department of General Services. The future LEED-certified building project is located at the State Correctional Institution in Coal Township, Northumberland County, PA, and north of Shamokin. Construction consist of a new 128-cell L-3 (Close Security) housing unit of approximately 33,000 SF to accommodate the current prison population, alleviate problems of overcrowding, and provide for increased operational capacity. The housing unit design has been accepted as the new prototypical standard of the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections in accordance with National Corrections Association standards. The triangular floor plan and central control room allows for monitoring the two-story dayroom and all cells. Each cell has a vertical slotted window and a secured view to the dayroom. Energy conserving features include energy management control systems, high efficiency motors, lighting, HVAC systems, and any other items necessary to achieve LEED certification. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1521665887715-X2I0C8ZYIV0D423BOYC3/76709-00W.jpg Government Buchart Horn Architects was the design/build architect/engineer responsible for preparation of final construction documents from the bridging documents provided by the Pennsylvania Department of General Services. The LEED-certified building project is located at the State Correctional Institution at Pine Grove, PA.

The second phase is the construction of a new Emergency Services Building (ESB North). Designed to replace the 50-year-old Good Hope Fire Station, the $4.5-million ESB North provides improved fire and ambulance services to the Township's rapidly growing northern sections as well as to accidents on nearby I-81. The new one-story facility includes five drive-through fire equipment bays, an EMS section, a public multi-purpose room with a kitchen, an emergency operations center, dormitory rooms, a fitness area, and space to store and display historic fire company artifacts. Building placement on the site and vehicular circulation were carefully considered. Both the site and the new building were zoned to separate public and emergency circulation and functions. The building is partitioned into discrete Medic, Fire and Public areas, and arranged based on their relationships to one other and the need for efficient site circulation. The form of the 25,000-SF building is shaped by the needs and relationship of the building's functions as well as a desire to create a simple but memorable landmark for this area of the Township. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1522188408681-LGQECWLIT8EFER137Q7C/75320-50G.jpg Government The County Commissioners, the President Judge, and Buchart Horn Architects, through extensive planning and consensus building, determined the short-term and future needs for the Dauphin County Courthouse. The courthouse is prominently located in the downtown business district of Harrisburg and within walking distance of the State Capitol. Erected in 1941, the six-story, 140,000 SF marble landmark is recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. In order to maintain all courtrooms on the third and fifth floors, the fourth floor being jury deliberation and upper portions of courtrooms on the third level, the new courtroom displaces the law library on the fifth floor. Great care was taken to maintain all artifacts and incorporate them into the new courtroom, while assuring proper traffic flows, courtroom technology, and courtroom security. The renovation program was phased and the building was occupied and functioning during construction. The design included a new state of the art courtroom; Judges' chamber suites; relocation of the law library to include electronic retrieval systems; and relocation and expansion of jury assembly to accommodate a larger juror pool. Also included were two new 5,000 lb. elevators to accommodate secure juror movement. The new elevators can be controlled to coordinate with the existing passenger elevators or be taken off line to provide secure passage of the jurors to the appropriate levels of the courthouse. Courthouse security and upgrades in both new and existing areas were phased with the construction. New and replacement infrastructure assemblies were accomplished in a phased construction process. All affected areas were brought up to ADA standards.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1521666232104-E9HE7R1XXQ7NYWF11UV9/76888-00AG.jpg Government BHA was asked to evaluate the existing Station 89-1 on East Market Street in York, PA to determine if it was a good candidate for reuse by the York Area United Fire & Rescue (YAUFR). A comprehensive study of call volume and response time was completed by YAUFR during the building study. After both reports were complete, it was decided due to site limitations and complications from emergency vehicles attempting to access a busy divided highway, a site located on the east side of the County should be selected for a new station. Working with the Springettsbury Township Board of Supervisors, YAUFR Directors and members of the Springettsbury Volunteer Fire Company, the BHA team developed a building program and schematic layout for a new, 15,500-SF fire station. The new facility includes program space for YAUFR Headquarters, career and volunteer firefighters, fire police, and local EMS. Part of the challenge was to create dedicated office space for each organization while allowing for an integrated working environment. It was decided that YAUFR Headquarters would be securely located on the second floor while the ground floor was organized to allow for afterhours use by each organization without affecting fire operations. The fire station houses a four-bay vehicle section for two fire trucks, two ambulances, and volunteer vehicles; fire equipment rooms; living quarters; a ground-level meeting room; and a second-level headquarters office with a separate entrance for administrative functions. The drive-through fire bays include storage space, decontamination equipment, SCBA filling station, and gear storage areas. These areas use radiant floor heating to keep heat at the ground level as well as aiding in snow removal from returning vehicles, floor drying and preventing ice from accumulating around the overhead doors. A non-slip epoxy floor finish was also provided to prevent injuries and allow for simplified maintenance. YAUFR officials and BHA included several design features to help recruit and maintain volunteer firefighter enrollment. A full-service kitchen, dormitory-style bunk rooms, a fitness area, and day room provide needed functions for employees during 12-hour shifts. BH completed the successful design and construction of the new facility on time and under budget. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1521739731938-J3TRWOQEYXD2S0GH4QD0/81017-MCC.JPG Government Buchart Horn Architects provided professional architectural and engineering services for renovation work in the Command Headquarters facility at the Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD) in Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania. This project consisted of designing repairs and renovations for the main entrance lobby and the second floor of Wing C in the Command Headquarters building that would be consistent with a design aesthetic previously developed by BHA for the adjacent Mission Operations facility. The renovations in the Headquarters facility are the first in a series of renovation projects that will ultimately lead to the upgrade of the entire Command Headquarters facility. Future renovation projects in this facility will be extensions of and consistent with elements designed into this project. Design efforts included architectural, mechanical, electrical, structural, fire protection, environmental, civil, and interior design and documentation. The result was documents for two individual construction solicitation packages; one for the lobby renovation and one for the Wing C renovation. Upon commencing with the project, TYAD modified the contract to expand our services to include the design development and preparation of individual solicitation packages for the systems furniture for the project areas. To ensure best value and allow TYAD to better compare various systems, we conducted a furniture mock-up demonstration at the installation involving four different systems furniture vendors. This project highlights extensive renovation and rehabilitation design services in eight different disciplines, the development of bridging documents to enable phased construction and related facility planning work within the indefinite delivery contract that prefaced much of the design. Additionally, Buchart Horn Architects designed a subterranean tunnel linking the Command Headquarters lobby with the Mission Operations exhibition corridor. Combined, this area forms a promenade that the Depot intends to be the showcased tour route for visiting dignitaries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1532550946792-Z1MKB9TFQ4CELW7T6IXB/76547-00B.jpg Government https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1532551889486-LZ4ESQNYA1HZJAR8PACN/76519-01G.JPG Government When the City of Bartlett built a new library at the Bartlett Station Municipal Center, the administration, seeking increased operational efficiency, decided to relocate and consolidate several interdependent administrative operations into the vacated facility, providing more convenient services to the public and to the municipality. To maximize the improvements, the city initially requested an investigation into the feasibility of converting the former library into a City Hall Annex. Based on Buchart Horn Architects programming evaluation and report, the 12,400-SF former library was renovated and re-designed to house the City's Code Enforcement, Engineering, and Planning Departments. Buchart Horn Architects provided all programming; architecture; structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering; specifications; cost estimating; and construction administration services on the project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1523392715568-BINTS5JD8M5LT5PHBJBJ/75600-00N.jpg Government Buchart Horn Architects designed a new maintenance facility at the Montebello Water Treatment Plant. The maintenance facility serves as a central maintenance area for nearly a dozen pump stations that are a part of Baltimore City's water delivery system. The new 22,620-SF facility is on the grounds of Montebello Filtration Plant, between Hillen Road and Lake Montebello. Because the site is restricted, it was necessary to provide parking for City and employee vehicles and to provide service and delivery vehicle access to three separate departmental loading areas. There are separate entrances for employees and the public because of heightened security concerns. Camera surveillance was provided for the building and all vehicle parking areas. Both the owner and nearby residents are very sensitive about the aesthetics and other impacts of the facility. The design had to be architecturally compatible with the nearby water pumping station built in 1900. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1521666404320-3ZV1K2XLUPD6PKL5O2R0/LAT.jpg Government Scott [Loercher] was assigned to our project after the original architect left the firm, and picked right up where he had left off. In many ways I believe that the change was fortuitous, as Scott had the ability to bring function to the form in great detail. Throughout numerous meetings with our team, Scott listened to our ideas and suggestions with patience and an open mind, and was able to incorporate many of our ideas. He was also very tactful in explaining why some ideas wouldn't work. When it was necessary to value engineer the design, Scott provided many great ideas. The result of our collaboration was an attractive, functional building both inside and out, built very economically. I would certainly hire Scott to work with us on another building if the opportunity arose.

James Negley, Township Manager, Township of Derry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1521664893792-2F6I60K2UERNNOEVANG6/76781-02k.jpg Government https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1541416210353-QGDIYCOYXJ176KMRCTIA/TJD_4767.jpg Government BHA designed a new 33,000-SF state of the art facility to house the West Hempfield Administration, Police Department and West Hempfield Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company. The site for the new Municipal Complex is a five-acre parcel located across the street from the existing Administration Building and within view of the current Fire & Rescue facility. Design of the new complex was based on the program provided by the Township in the Request for Proposals: Police Department, 9,500-10,500 SF; Fire Department, 15,000 SF; and Administration, 2,500 SF. Extensive site work was required to raise the finish floor elevation above any potential flooding concerns. The Township contracted directly with a civil engineering firm to handle site layout, land development, and stormwater management. BHA worked directly with the civil engineer, the Township's IT/Security vendor and furniture suppliers. The new facility protects the public, provides secure holding of police related files and equipment and meets accreditation requirements by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement (CALEA). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1521660998466-S8T5LUZ86HTERESTNGG0/_DSC1420.jpg Government BHA provided architectural and engineering services to the Borough of State College for the design and construction administration of a new Municipal Public Works Service Maintenance Facility to serve the Borough and surrounding municipalities. The project site extended the existing Public Works site and included two adjacent parcels to be combined. In order to keep all required operations functional throughout the project, a phased design and construction schedule were implemented. The project includes two new 20,000 SF vehicle storage buildings, one warm and one cold storage. Both facilities include CO2 monitoring, rain water collection and are fully sprinklered. A new administration building was located along the secure perimeter of the site to monitor traffic. A new automatic vehicle wash bays was built adjacent to the existing fuel island and a new canopy was provided. The wash bay also includes a rain water and wash water recycling system. New salt/gravel storage bays were constructed to allow for protected storage or brine, cold patch, gravel/stone and miscellaneous equipment. The Borough's goals for the project are to be a model project for social, environmental, and economic sustainability as well as energy reduction, flood remediation, and reduced emissions all while using the unique resource opportunities at the site (solar access, stormwater). The Borough incorporated several significant sustainable design concepts into the construction of the buildings and appurtenances. That included, making appropriate use of the land; uses water, energy, and other resources efficiently; enhances human health; protects agricultural, cultural, and archaeological resources; economical to build and operate; uses ecological site design, on-site soil erosion control, and water purification; reduces waste, uses job-site recycling, promotes efficient use of materials; is energy efficient and harvests rainwater. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1553189719368-294IW465MC8GABJS62D2/site1.jpg Government BHA provided full-service architectural and engineering services, including structural and MEP, for the $935,000 renovations and ADA upgrades to the Derry Township (Mifflin County) Municipal Building. The building was originally designed and built in 1984 by the US Army Corps of Engineers as an Army Reserve Center with OMS. In 2015, the Derry Township bought the building, renovated, and inhabited a portion of it for Township administrative and road maintenance operations. The renovations to the building were commissioned by Derry Township to provide a new 5,000-SF home for the Mifflin County Regional Police Department, 550 SF of shared storage space, a new 450-SF office for the local code officials, a 165-SF IT room, and a 17,640-SF roof replacement for the entire building. The police department renovations included the addition of a new locker, toilet, and shower room, which involved re-purposing the existing showers on the Township side of the building to be accessible through the police locker room and cutting off access from the Township toilet rooms. New security upgrades were implemented for the police area of the building to provide Pennsylvania State Police standard level of security for the area. This included ballistic-rated entrances and secure-access card readers. A secure interview room was constructed in the transition space between the lobby and the police department to allow for police interaction with the public. New finishes, lighting, and HVAC were provided to the majority of the spaces, including offices for the police administration, a squad room, evidence holding, file storage, and an updated break room.

Energy. Excellence. These are the hallmarks of the sports programs at Cathedral Prep in Erie, PA. BHA planned a new sports complex in downtown Erie that includes a 50 meter pool, an 1800 seat arena-style gym and a new football/soccer field surrounded by an eight-lane track. This new complex occupies a brownfield industrial site on 12th Street, one of the main crosstown boulevards, lined with brick manufacturing and warehousing buildings, many from the 19th century. The site, a previous Gunnite factory, required minor environmental remediation but extensive utility and storm water management work. An existing railway spur bridge was renovated over Cherry Street to connect the new parking with the Sports Complex. Site planning issues included discussions with PennDot and the City of Erie for improvements to 12th Street to create a true Boulevard with center islands and turning lanes. In addition to the pool, gym, football/soccer field and track, the project as Phase 1 included grandstands, restrooms, concessions, locker rooms, coaching offices and a spectator area for the pool. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1533326944019-JG3F3TTPIVKL095UE9H8/_MG_5811.jpg Education St. Francis de Sales Catholic Elementary School, a K-8 parochial institution for 475 students, sits above Interstate 68 on a beautiful hilltop overlooking Morgantown, WV. The architecture builds on the imagery associated with a dairy farm that occupied this property for three generations. The building includes a silo, gambrel-shaped roofs on the classroom wings and an architecture reminiscent of the stone house for the Pre-K classrooms, which sit free of, and in front of, the building itself. The design reflects the history of the site while providing a building at a scale and of a comfort level appropriate for 475 elementary students. Included are pre-K thru 8 classrooms, cafeteria, a full high school gymnasium, a large library/learning center, computer, art, music, and all the other facilities normally associated with a progressive elementary program.

The Paterno Library is a five story, 132,000 sq. ft. addition to the existing Pattee Library, which received extensive renovation and restoration as a part of the work. The Pattee Library was built in the 1930’s and a stack building was added in 1949, while the west wing (1962), and the East Wing (1973) came later. The program addressed certain structural, mechanical and electrical deficiencies in the existing building. The renovation/addition also included a complete reorganization of visitor circulation, installation of modern computerized facilities throughout, establishment of a 24-hour library and use of a “library within a library” concept for development of the various floors. Major reading rooms, stack areas, offices and similar facilities were upgraded and improved. New lobby entrances were added, both from the historic mall in front of the building and from the heavily traveled Curtin Road. The University’s budget was $23 million, and bids were received $1 million under the University’s budget. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1527087994744-8IZ212U20OZTGLE1GT1O/Olmsted+with+seal_0.jpg Education As part of an ongoing campus improvement program, Buchart Horn Architects (BHA) has provided a variety of architectural and engineering design services to assist the University with renovation and conversion of facilities. These projects are designed to meet the campus' changing academic and needs while not disrupting operations. The Olmsted Building is Penn State Harrisburg's academic and administrative hub.

BH has designed the following renovations to the Olmsted Building: -Addition of three new offices to the marketing area -Conversion of two large offices into four smaller offices in the public policy area -Addition of two new offices to the engineering area -Alterations to an existing seminar room, converting it into four offices with the addition of an adjacent corridor Each renovated area included minor reconfigurations to the existing mechanical, electrical, and fire alarm systems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1542282736558-Z7OE5OBMS5LU92AOO7T4/DSC_1998.jpg Education Now the Hildreth-Mirza Humanities Center, Bucknell University purchased the building formerly known at the Demosthenean Hall home to Delta Upsilon Fraternity in 2005 and utilized it as a residence hall for more than 10 years until the decision was made the create an inviting facility for humanities students and faculty that promotes humanists collaboration and research. The LEED-silver facility boasts a green roof, a living wall, Shakespearean Garden, and energy-efficient façade and system upgrades. The project consisted of an addition on the north side to provide an accessibility entrance, an elevator to service all the floors, and a great room as well as renovations to the existing building. The building is part of an historic quadrangle and is surrounded by old growth trees which had to be protected. Now that the renovations are complete the building is home to the Bucknell Humanities Center, The Griot Institute for Africana Studies, and the Bucknell University Press. The building is intended for the use of all students, faculty and staff members engaged in humanistic work of any sort. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1557920732410-OUFLFP6J8GHNEOF3NRPT/Bulgeria.jpg Education The American College of Sofia is a co-educational, private secondary school, with an emphasis on a rigorous, English-language education and providing a college-preparatory curriculum for both Bulgarian students and those of other nationalities. The College, one of the oldest American educational institutions outside the United States, traces its roots to a boys’ school founded in 1860 by American missionaries, who operated the school until 1926. The schools were then turned over to Sofia American Schools, Inc., which continues to operate the College today. They hired Dr. Floyd H. Black, who oversaw construction of a new campus to the southeast of the capital city of Sofia in the late 1920s. Beginning with World War II, the school was closed for a period of 50 years, and the campus was used by the Bulgarian government. November 1989 saw the fall of Communism in Bulgaria, and a renewed hope that the College would reopen. Under the direction of Dr. Roger Whitaker, the school reopened in September 1992 with an 8th grade class of 50 boys and 50 girls. Since then, the College has continued to grow and now uses much of the original campus, which is leased to them by the Bulgarian government. In November 2011, ACS retained our team to develop the first master planning document for the school. Strategic objectives of the Plan included maximizing the use of the existing buildings on-campus through careful study and analysis while strategically placing new construction in areas that will not affect the surrounding natural environment. A strategy to take ownership of the campus from the Bulgarian government is being developed. Deferred maintenance issues throughout the campus are being itemized, focusing on cost-effective improvements to beautify the campus. The campus’s academic spaces need to be modernized with right-sized learning spaces. Athletic facilities must be upgraded and consolidated with the necessary support spaces provided. A student center needs to be established for the campus, with an emphasis on student socialization. Spaces to consider included the cafeteria, library learning commons, coffee bar, student clubs and activities spaces, and lounge space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1558620550742-BYKIQ9XVUV4JR8IXE4RE/77064-00BZ.jpg Education https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1568983291658-Z0US8TL314Y6RN7XGVP9/IMG_0982.JPG Education https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1572533629096-7AJ79Y1C6AW0P3GMB308/Nebraska+Wesleyan+University+-+Duane2.jpg Education The 21st Century Science Initiative was Nebraska Wesleyan University’s title for a phased capital project aimed at creating and improving learning spaces supporting science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Our planners and designers engaged with the university community to assess and quantify needs, goals and requirements to further implement the planning recommendations of the university’s Master Plan. This effort included determining the best location for a proposed new three-story science building, the Duane W. Acklie Hall of Science, and recommendations and visioning for best utilization of the university’s existing science facility. Our design solution for the new facility accomplishes a primary university goal: to move science education boldly forward. By proposing the new building rest partially in an existing public right-of-way, we challenged many preconceived ideas about the project and the necessary expansion of the campus outside its traditional boundaries while also announcing, advancing and promoting the university’s commitment to the importance of STEM education at their institution for the next century. By closing a street we attached the new building to the campus and gained real estate for a new quad. As design architects for the project we met with all of the faculties and developed a building for contemporary teaching and teamwork for STEM projects. Our assignment was to design the building through the design development phase and then hand it off to a local architect for construction drawings and construction administration. This project was contracted to and completed by Celli-Flynn Brennan, which was acquired by Buchart Horn Architects in 2018. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1568754327566-TB9CBBRZW56CTH3OVGD6/77213-00P.jpg Education https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1629309996677-92Q7ZGPO26YTPL18HO7R/20150410smlocalMtLebo006-5.jpg Education https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1649711415990-8MJEHU0C5NFV37VV066T/B%26GC+10.jpg Education https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1573043320803-CYH7KDXW9Y583SWGW1KF/6.jpg Education https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1727116200503-36MCLKYP4BR3ELNC89X0/image-asset.jpeg Education https://bucharthornarchitects.com/sci-muncy daily 0.75 2018-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1521666077593-UWWNLIT66ZSPILUP2HRI/76463-00+C.jpg SCI Muncy | Facility Improvements Buchart Horn Architects designed a new 33,400 SF, two-story, 128-cell L4 (close security) Housing Facility for the State Correctional Institution at Muncy. BHA provided architecture; structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering; landscape architecture; and other professional services as well as construction administration services. SCI Muncy was experiencing critical levels of overcrowding and required an extreme fast-track for design and construction of additional housing. Having previously designed a similar housing unit at Muncy, BHA was asked to design the new unit. The project construction was split into three separate contracts in order to expedite the schedule. The first contract, by others, provided for early fabrication of the precast concrete cells with interior furnishings for bunks, desk, security mirror, wardrobe lockers, and shelf, all manufactured by the Department of Corrections, Correctional Industries. The second contract was a site package for work outside the security fence perimeter of the operating correctional institution. Erosion and sedimentation control; site preparation, and work to clear the space for the building foundation slabs-on-grade; and masonry foundation walls were included. The 64 double-cell modular precast cell units were then set into the foundation construction. The final contract tasked multiple primes with constructing Buchart Horn Architects design around the precast cell units. General construction covered underground utilities, structural steel, exterior precast concrete walls, interior masonry, roof deck, floor slab, roofing system, door and windows, etc. HVAC construction covered ductwork, piping, mechanical equipment room, and four 6200 cfm energy recovery rooftop units with central steam supply and energy recovery wheel for heating and electric direct expansion for cooling. Plumbing construction covered the underground and above ground piping and plumbing fixture connections, etc. Electrical construction covered the excavation and trenching of the electrical service duct bank and supplying and setting a pad-mounted transformer and automatic transfer switch. This contract also covered the power wiring for the mechanical system equipment, smoke evacuation equipment and installation of the fire alarm system. The electrical service, associated electrical systems, and the security system including door control and data/telephone system were all designed by BHA.

for excellence. Since its inception in 1928, the campus has grown to more than 100 acres in an exclusive suburb of Philadelphia. Barns and barracks, riding rings, academic buildings and parade grounds make the campus unique. The Academy operates a 7th through 12th grade preparatory school in the military environment, while the two-year college sends many of its graduates on to four-year institutions prior to taking up military service. The master plan project focused on finding appropriate use for an 18-acre parcel across Eagle Road from the main campus and how to address many deferred maintenance needs. Parts of the campus are on a wooded, steeply sloping site where storm drainage has not been well designed; therefore, stormwater management was also a part of the master plan. Our team recommended the development of a ring road around the campus to improve access and circulation, the demolition of certain buildings that are beyond useful life, the construction of the New Military College of Pennsylvania across Eagle Road which would allow the college to stand on its own as a separate entity while still sharing the parade ground, mess hall and athletic facilities with the preparatory academy. A new identifiable entrance to the institution, redevelopment of Mellon Hall as the headquarters for the Academy and renovations to other buildings were also recommended as part of the master plan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1573818723416-QKPJ9LGKLM7TI56AS3WD/Central.jpg Studies Central Methodist University (CMU), located in central Missouri, has long-standing roots in the state and maintains a strong relationship with the United Methodist Church. The main campus, located in the City of Fayette, maintains satellite branches in over 10 locations throughout the state. Their recognition and accommodation of nontraditional students, as well as traditional undergraduates, has made the university a leader in Missouri. The university offers graduate-level programs, and has partnered with community colleges to provide two-year degree-completion programs as another option for students in the state. Following a successful Walkabout in April 2008, during which many ideas were generated for the future of the campus, CMU asked our team to generate an update to their campus master plan. Some of the ideas generated in the Walkabout formed the foundation of the master planning recommendations. Goals of the master planning process focused on the efficient utilization of academic space across the campus, providing new facilities for various programs, improving on-campus housing, and identifying a “front door” location. All proposals also had to align with the intents of the University’s Strategic Plan. We began with an analysis of the school’s history, surroundings, and current conditions; campus buildings; local historic districts; campus museums; pedestrian and vehicular circulation; parking; residence halls; enrollment and academic programs; athletics; and infrastructure. Based on the findings of the analysis, as well as previously identified needs from the university staff, a plan was generated for the future of the campus. Recommendations focused on various aspects of the academic buildings, residence halls, site, and athletics/recreation facilities. Specific space planning exercises were undertaken for four academic buildings. Additional recommendations made focus on infrastructure and sustainability. All recommendations were organized into a basic timeline, with priorities assigned to each. Preliminary cost analyses were provided to give a framework of the scope of work involved in each proposal. One recommendation from the master plan, a renovation of Classic Hall for the music department and Art Gallery, was designed by our team. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1548265233168-DCA3F6Q8SJ9UFBWFFZY9/3d+Floor+Plan+2.jpg Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1539640109869-N0S05L1ERCDPA4Y6OLYM/Kennet+4+Rendering.jpg Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1602008660058-5SNCDDV4EQNBSZ9K5KZL/NY+Wire-1BW.jpg Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1613578095862-3WFU1AOOSXHM6INNMK0P/Cafeteria+Perspective+BW.jpg Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1666953667936-1BVAGK4S0LU1BNPLL5KQ/03%2BInterior.jpg Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1685545416445-5NVJ8IOK6UAPXBTL6AMM/Enscape_2023-01-09-09-30-34+copy.jpg Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1685545493480-WMHHTLDDR8QCN8JJSWG8/Enscape_2022-11-09-09-33-42+GRAYSCALE.jpg Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1685545718476-R44DROJOEAI3XHQ46W3I/Enscape_2022-07-23-11-02-22+copy.jpg Studies https://bucharthornarchitects.com/new-garden-township daily 0.75 2018-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1522102885975-GT26JW9TIGUX72TLBYP0/New+GArden.jpg New Garden Township Police Program Study https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1522102885975-GT26JW9TIGUX72TLBYP0/New+GArden.jpg New Garden Township Police Program Study https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1522102885172-A7CJH2TKV01P2GDKG3FW/New+GArden2.jpg New Garden Township Police Program Study https://bucharthornarchitects.com/sci-smithfield daily 0.75 2018-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1521825215967-61YJIB0DHOT1W61UCF40/76622-00E.jpg SCI Smithfield | Facility Improvements Buchart Horn Architects designed a 2,184-SF renovation, and 6,653-SF addition to the kitchen and dining area at State Correctional Institution Smithfield.

Buchart Horn Architects provided professional architectural and engineering services for the design of a new 550-space, multi-level parking structure to serve the public, as well as the University Recreation Center. Located at the northeast corner of West Nields Street and South New Street, the design provides a transition from neighborhood context to University scale. Because the sloped site is bordered by residential property and Plum Run, appearance and access were primary concerns for the University and residents. In addition, the design successfully avoided building in the FEMA flood zone or Borough setbacks and employed Best Stormwater Practices to mitigate runoff issues. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1527075535074-MULKFBNADV21B7WI3GX7/New+Street.jpg West Chester University New Street Parking Garage West Chester University (WCU), along with the Borough of West Chester, wanted to increase parking capacity to accommodate University growth.

Located on a 248 acre site that when fully developed will be a third academic campus that may include a new Elementary School, a new Middle School, a new High School, and a connecting road through the site, providing safer access from the western side of the school district's attendance area. The site may also include open space for community use. Using the completed new Educational Specifications and our iterative approach to design, we were able to expedite the design providing, many solutions to the programmatic requirements for review and input. Much of the discussion during our meetings also included the curriculum delivery concept being incorporated into middle school planning – the "schools-within-a-school" concept. From a physical facility viewpoint, this organizes classrooms so that four general purpose classrooms (math, social studies, literature, writing, English, and world languages), a science lab, and a teacher planning/ preparation area are all in close proximity to each other. The overall classroom cluster was developed as multiples of this module. Our experience has led us to advocate planning for flexibility. Given that education is an ever-evolving process, discussions during the Educational Specification development project resulted in the need for spaces to be arranged to provide the maximum flexibility. The new school was designed to be adaptive to new and innovative teaching techniques. Planning accommodated the potential for various grade configurations and could be acclimated for the vast amount of educational technology available now and in the future. The new Middle School was designed to operate as an interdisciplinary or departmentalized middle school. Basic services provided included architecture; interior design; landscape architecture; and structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering. The work was performed with the firm of Fanning Howey Architects as Educational Planner and Associated Architect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1527079385175-H7KHCIXJR4F58Q4ON3HH/76488-00A.jpg Downingtown Third Middle School Having completed the District's Master Plan and Feasibility Study and updated its Educational Specifications, the Downingtown Area School District hired Buchart Horn Architects for architectural and related services required in the design and construction of the District's 1300-student, 166,000-SF third middle school.

This audit was the basis for the city's Conservation Works application. A total of $35,349 in federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds was used as the local match for the project, which included the energy audit. The goal was to make the building more energy efficient. The original exterior was painted concrete block with the cores initially filled with vermiculite insulation. The vermiculite has migrated out of the block fills, and the extent and effectiveness of the material's insulating value were not known. The environmental and energy benefits of adding the exterior wall finish and insulation solved the problem of leaking vermiculite, reduced the wall infiltration heat loss, reduced the indoor temperature of the vehicle bays in the summer, and will reduce the winter energy bill. The replacement of the oil boiler with a high efficiency gas boiler will have a positive impact on the environment, releasing less greenhouse contaminants to the atmosphere, and the replacement of the oil domestic water heater, which was original to the building, with a high-efficiency condensing gas water heater eliminated large standby fuel costs to keep the boiler hot all year around for the minor domestic hot water load. BHA estimated the renovations also will have a positive environmental impact by reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 113,393 pounds a year, reducing sulfur dioxide emissions by 1.94 pounds a year, and reducing nitrogen oxide emissions by 0.38 pounds a year. Energy simulation software was used to calculate the environmental benefit data. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1532548728614-AEZYPKQZ9U62TV6P0CFX/76714-00A.jpg Hope Hose Fire Company Building, City of Lock Haven BHA completed an energy audit of the Hope Hose Fire Company, which assessed the building and recommended energy-saving improvement options with an economic evaluation of each option.

Rising 3 ½ stories at its center, the nineteenth-century structure was once home to a local quarry master. Now, it is the President’s House – the first for the University – providing both private living quarters from President Thomas Flynn and public meeting space for community groups and university faculty, staff and students. Buchart Horn Architects was retained to renovate the historic stone mansion to accommodate its new purpose. We made the building ADA accessible and brought it up to health, safety and building code requirements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1533413731602-FILFD7WQ0CWCJHJSG9BZ/PARLORBO.jpg Historic The goal of the renovation and historic restoration of Seton Hill’s 1888 Administration Building was to highlight the functions of the National Education Center for Women in Business (NECWB), and the National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education (NCCHE) in the building, to help bring Seton Hill to the forefront of women’s education. This effort, a result of a Master Plan completed by BHA for Seton Hill’s entire campus, included the elimination of current dormitory functions in the upper floors Admin and the return of the entire building to academic and administrative functions. This building was erected in 1888 of heavy timber and brick masonry construction with interior plaster walls, custom woodwork, decorative parlor paintings and other unusual finishes. In order to accommodate academic functions, new electrical power panels, communications closets and an HVAC system were installed, along with an elevator and completely modern computer classroom facilities. Now this 1888 gem is as modern as any contemporary teaching facility, yet harkens to the architectural traditions of the past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1533414395993-MW61W43PHADNROYUNH7G/4C-Central-Methodist-front-11-1024x651.jpg Historic Central Methodist University has restored the exterior and renovated the interior of the historic Classic Hall for the 100 year anniversary. The 18,000 SF brick structure was built in 1911, and was occupied with many different programs over the years until 1980 when it was closed. The Renaissance Revival building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. After Workshops with the College, BHA came up with a strategy to utilize the college’s space more efficiently by reorganizing spaces and developing their restoration. The expanding art and music departments are housed within the existing footprint. The Ashby-Hodge Gallery of American Art occupies the first floor with gallery spaces, a work room, and reception. The gallery storage is located in the double height space on the ground floor. The second floor contains the music department’s practice rooms, offices and a classroom. The third floor holds a band and choir room. The choir and band rooms feature the existing exposed trusses in the huge attic volume. These layouts are respectful of the numerous window opening and the existing structure. The detailed brick work has been restored to its original condition. All of the existing windows have been replaced with replicas of the original windows. The circulation has been redesigned to meet code and ADA requirements, including the addition of an elevator and the removal of a crude exterior ramp. The band alumni are already raising funds to name a lounge space on the second floor to honor the Central Bands 100 year anniversary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1533414718130-JWT8WKUXB0Z9LEF583ZI/stjoesdome-796x1024.jpg Historic Saint Joseph’s Cathedral is a beautiful Lombardy-Romanesque Cathedral which contained an intense series of murals and paintings by a famous German-American muralist. The project was a renovation centered on a complete preservation and restoration of the interior coupled with the introduction of modern liturgical appointments and ceremonial spaces. Prior to the restoration, bright, 1950’s pendant-hung fixtures illuminated the nave, chancel and altar resulting in glare and inadequate reading light. The murals were obscured and the interior was filthy due to 70 years in a steel making, industrial valley. BHA’s lighting design concentrated on the magnificent coffered ceiling, highlighting of the murals, and gentle lighting appropriate for reading hymnals and conducting services. All lighting is dimmer controlled. There are preset programs to highlight ceremonial locations at the Baptistery, Ambo, Altar, Lectern and similar areas of the church. Other improvements included the design of a raised predella under the dome, development of a “Cathedral in the Round” by reorganizing pews in the transept spaces, inclusion of handicap access to the former sanctuary and introduction of a new Altar, Ambo, Lectern and Bishop’s Chair. This Roman Catholic Church now utilizes full immersion baptism. Located on the center aisle, adjacent to the Narthex, is a new Baptistery using the original Baptismal Font as a fountain that fills and overflows into the pool, creating continual acoustical perfume. The stone and plaster interior was also completely cleaned and 550 new canvas inserts for the coffered ceiling were painted, in freehand, and installed to replace the existing burlap panels that were beyond repair. Each of the surface murals was cleaned and restored; in-fill painting was kept to a minimum. Decorative paintings at side aisle ceilings and around windows were uncovered and restored. A new HVAC system was installed, incorporating completely quiet, full air conditioning. The Cathedral now stands as a beacon to renewed religious life, incorporating appropriate contemporary symbols, while preserving the architecture and paintings of the past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1533414916258-F4SM6O0PIWYJJGWIUOSR/bellefield.jpg Historic The Bellefield Presbyterian Church is a fine example of the robust Richardsonian Romanesque Style circa 1898. It has a handsome curvilinear stone and slate exterior and contains a unique domed Sanctuary flanked by brilliant stained glass windows on three sides. BHA completed a restoration of the interior spaces to allow the inherent beauty of the Sanctuary to become apparent as it once was. Once again, the congregation of the Bellefield Presbyterian Church worships in a vibrant and unique environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1533416614604-CVX2OO7EPKII5J71HDMC/A-S-facade.jpg Historic Built in 1857, Old Main is the oldest building on the William Peace University campus. It is set back from and on axis with Wilmington Street, which gives the structure a prominent presence. This Greek revival structure with Italianate and Victorian accents is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Old Main is also part of the Blount Street Historic District and designated as a Raleigh Historic Landmark. The building houses the President’s office, chapel, small theater and two floors of student residences. Buchart Horn Architect’s restoration work on this historic structure consisted of exterior masonry restoration and repair, cornice repair and exterior wood restoration and painting, roofing work to improve watertight conditions, and window restoration and replacement. All of the work was carefully researched to be within the historic character of Main Building’s architecture while implementing 21st century building technology. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1533327177921-IZT9VHSXYRCMLWPZWPLP/somerset-cc04.jpg Historic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1533327302535-UYKE32BPFH0Z2WFV0J0M/Capitol+3+page+layout.jpg Historic The main objective of the $140 million East Wing Addition project to the Pennsylvania State Capitol was to merge four existing National Landmark buildings into a complex serving more than 6,000 people. The merger was accomplished by building a 929,000 SF Legislative office Addition to the Capitol, connecting the four structures and 20,000 square feet of renovation and restoration of the existing building. Above the underground garage, the new addition to the main Capitol Building incorporates a 250,000 square foot plaza, an office/concourse level connecting all buildings, and an additional 300,000 gross square feet of office space for the State House of Representatives and the Senate. TV studios for the Senate and the House of Representatives which include broadcasting and taping facilities for individual messages to constituencies and group discussion were incorporated in the new addition. The Governor’s media room and press conference space has its own control room with satellite uplink and downlink as well as full TV broadcast capability. The Italian Renaissance Style of the addition was a must in order to preserve the historic fabric of the 1906 Italianate Capitol building, which is considered to be one of the finest of all the state capitals. The project was awarded the Arthur Ross Award by Classical America. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1533413372581-R8XHI6FM0ZWNPW3U0MPX/cochran-front-1024x768.jpg Historic Originally constructed in 1908 as a men’s residence hall, Cochran Hall’s use had changed many times over the years. Prior to its renovation and conversion into the Tippie Alumni Center, its once proud image had been dimmed by unsympathetic changes. In keeping with the college’s values, Cochran Hall, a contributor to the wonderful architectural heritage at Allegheny, was completely restored. Architectural and campus planning issues were addressed by developing a new east entrance façade, sympathetic to the original building, while providing a strong image from Peach Alley and Senior Circle. The building was designed to house Alumni meeting and dining spaces on the first floor, Alumni Affairs and Development Offices on the second floor and support spaces for these functions on the ground floor. Major restored spaces include a 150-seat dining hall with a small ceremonial balcony, a Boardroom and an Alumni Library. The main space on the entry level is a large oak paneled Alumni Lounge and gallery reusing all of the intact woodwork and decorative mirrors. Replicated bronze light fixtures were created from archival photographs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1533415085201-GYRX6VTDA7F9ZSG5LOA6/MG_90921.jpg Historic The historic Shadyside Presbyterian Church, originally designed in 1890 by Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge, the successor firm of famous American architect Henry Hobson Richardson, was in need of enhancements in order to better serve its evolving and diverse congregation. Buchart Horn Architects developed a program that focused on re-creating and re-inventing spaces that were underutilized in the building along with developing two small key-point additions to create a more cohesive facility. Prior to the renovation, dining and fellowship occurred in the gymnasium one level below the church sanctuary and there was no obvious connection between these spaces. Wayfinding through the facility was circuitous and primary entry points to the school and church offices were enigmatic to the first-time visitor. BHA established connectivity between these important but disparate spaces by inserting new, centrally located public gathering and circulation spaces between the Westminster Place and Amberson Avenue entry points. On the Westminster Place façade a well pronounced compatible stone entrance addition was created that incorporates and encloses the adjacent cloister which now welcomes congregants and visitors alike to this main floor entry point. Beyond the cloister was an outdoor courtyard that is now enclosed to offer a sky-lit atrium space supporting after-church fellowship with the cloister as passageway to the main worship space on the west and to provide an ancillary space to the church’s chapel and parlor on the east. The chapel was renovated as well with ornate stencil work on the walls and ceiling of the altar area and stenciled border patterns around the coffers of the chapel’s main cathedral ceiling. Custom designed chairs with carved backs reflecting the muntin patterns of the staining glass windows within the chapel replaced the fixed pews. These changes coupled with new cork flooring and new lighting recreate the chapel as a rich ceremonial space with flexibility for multiple functions of various sizes. A new central lobby space was also developed beyond the atrium creating an information center and waiting area that links all of these main level spaces with the ground floor through an adjacent sky-lit stair tower/entry addition. This entrance presents to Amberson Avenue via the circular drive at the ground floor level and provides a more prominent access point to the newly renovated nursery and Sunday school facilities with a small lobby space of its own. The adjacent gymnasium on this level is now renovated into a well appointed multi-purpose parish hall that can support over 200 people for a formal banquet event and a separate classroom/lecture hall with A/V systems to support any style presentation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1522177534055-YIO72P7C0VVTVW8AK47M/76097-00J.jpg Historic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1533416282938-AXL6EY3I6QOACBKWQ88I/DSC_0046-1.jpg Historic Bucknell University faced with a need to find space for numerous student services and looking for ways to attract and retain students turned to Buchart Horn Architect to reposition a century old building in need of TLC. Bucknell University’s Carnegie Building was originally constructed in 1904/1905 as the Carnegie Library with funds provided by Andrew Carnegie but over the past 60 plus years it has been utilized by numerous departments and organizations as the needs of this growing institution changed. During this time the grand two story reading room and most of the original historic fabric was lost and the building had fallen into disrepair. The three story building is approximately 65 feet wide and 90 long and constructed of load bearing masonry walls and wood framed floors. The building’s exterior was restored including new entrance stairs with unique glass entrance doors. The original windows were replaced with custom fabricated aluminum clad wood windows to match the configuration and profile of the original. The roof was replaced with a standing seam metal roof similar to its original and clearstory windows were recreated. The hand pressed brick and brownstone façade was cleaned and repointed and the lost cornice and entrance entablatures were recreated based on historic photographs. A new historically sensitive accessible entrance has been added which includes a new elevator and fire stair. In the interior, most of the past 60 years of modifications were removed including floor infills and old systems. The original central two story high reading room was recreated including the second floor balconies and barrel vaulted ceiling with oak framed daylight. Flanking both sides and on both floors of the shared reading room are offices, private tutoring and seminar spaces and a classroom all in support of the University’s Writing Center, Teaching and Learning Center, Office for Accessibility and the Griot Institute for African Studies. Long term, the building will have a flexible program, providing the University with office space and lounge and exhibit space on the first and second floors. The lower floor was renovated as lab space for the Geology Department. The project included the surgical insertion of completely new MEP and life safety systems. The project was awarded LEED Certified under USGBC LEED 2009. Working with the University and the many artisans and craftsman, BHAn has helped repositioned and reimage Bucknell University’s aging Carnegie Library into a Campus Gem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1557920276078-81I67AUEBR7758C6QIBM/Bucknell+Hall+3.jpg Historic The building, constructed in 1885/1886, is approximately 40 feet by 70 feet with an exit stair addition on the rear. The building was funded by William Bucknell and is named in his honor. The building was designed by architect David Gendell in the Queen Anne style and no original design or construction documents exist. The two-story building was originally used as a chapel, but the main floor is now used as a performance space and for an occasional small wedding. The basement space houses The Stadler Center for Poetry. The project scope included abating the 80-year-old asbestos roof shingles and replacing them with a 75-year warranty slate shingle to match the original roof. Workers had to carefully remove and catalog each decorative terracotta ridge cap and prepare it for reinstallation once the slate roof was complete. Both high and low box gutters was rebuilt with heavy duty copper lining to be wider and slope correctly to each new copper downspout. The small library and offices on the basement level were repainted, new mechanical systems, new ceiling and lighting installed and textile composite flooring was used to resolve the moisture issues. The project scope emphasis was on the immediate exterior envelope issues and update of the mechanical systems with the desire to maintain and restore the historic character of the building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1557921321248-BB5VYA9AU9CCNMXJYIGS/Redef4.jpg Historic The historic sanctuary of Rodef Shalom Temple located at the corner of 5th and Morewood Avenues in Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood was recently renovated by JJ Morris & Sons, Inc. (General Contractor) and AJ Vater & Co. (Painter and Architectural Conservator) under the direction and supervision of BHA. The impressive interior of the sanctuary was designed by architect Henry Hornbostel well known in Pittsburgh for his campus planning and buildings at nearby Carnegie Mellon University, the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall and the City-County Building downtown. Rodef Shalom Temple was completed in 1907 and the sanctuary was in need of restoration after water intrusion caused damage to the ceiling and panels of historic artistic painting. BHA prepared construction plans and specifications for invited contractors to bid. Areas where plaster repair was required where surveyed by BHA and identified on the drawings while the design team worked with an architectural conservator to address repair and conservation of the interior artworks. The entire interior ceiling surface was repainted. The project team delivered the complete project ahead of schedule and on budget. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1533415357702-HTMJMLTSJ0ZNUT3M9T8X/Final_DSC0382.jpg Historic St. Paul Cathedral was built by the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh in 1906. This imposing French Renaissance Cathedral reflects all of the Gothic traditions that Catholic architecture has followed for centuries. In need of restoration, and in preparation for the Cathedral’s centenary commemoration, BHA designed a complete interior restoration and an addition to the west side of the building. Improvements to lighting and accessibility, air conditioning and a new parish hall were major components of the project. A previous project restored exterior stone and stained glass. The objective of relighting the Cathedral was to both improve light levels for worshippers and celebrants while illuminating the grand space to highlight its architectural detail. A combination of both uplighting and downlighting was deployed throughout. The addition accommodates a new vestibule, elevator, ADA compliant restrooms and stair to the new parish hall located on the ground floor. This eloquent addition in the French Gothic style matches the architecture of the existing building and allows barrier-free access from the exterior and within the Cathedral. BHA also designed the new parish hall which includes a hall capable of seating 400 for dining functions, two classrooms, a new kitchen to service the parish community, cloakroom and other necessary requirements for meeting space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1765392307961-6S69LIHFQJY33T9RMBST/77375-02B.jpg Historic https://bucharthornarchitects.com/commercial daily 0.75 2024-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1521663654841-BLPUQ5I7T5WKNZB95NYB/70067-D9A.jpg Commercial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1521666617086-E212AQJ4M3YNRBTSTYB1/Trexler.jpg Commercial BHA provided architectural and engineering services for design, specification, and construction of a 3,000-SF sustainably designed environmental center used for educational purposes, office space, and restroom facilities for park users. This Visitors Center is a glass-walled jewelbox of a facility with a rooftop observation deck offering the public a comfortable space from which to observe and learn about soaring birds of prey; roaming buffaloes, elk, and deer; and abundant small wildlife. Building principles include a green roof, high R-value construction, low emission materials, solar cells, energy efficient lighting, triple pane/low E glass, geothermal heat pump, waterless urinals, and native plant landscaping. The geothermal heating system consists of three individual wells. Electrical design included a new electrical service and distribution system at this high-profile presentation-grade site showcasing proof of concepts. The facility theme is to demonstrate integration of advanced energy management and ultramodern aesthetics with very-high energy efficiency construction. BH provided the highly-coordinated design of all electrical systems and integrated work to meet the stringent utility and site aesthetic concerns. BHA designed a classic exposed wood frame, polished concrete floor, and glass window wall building for public indoor and outdoor gathering / meeting areas including a stone fireplace, learning area, and toilet facility with adjacent office support areas for Park Rangers and Fire Watch Officers. A covered porch and rooftop deck (accessible by ADA ramp and bridge) allows the public to see the beautiful landscape for miles and miles. This public meeting place boasts a vehicle parking area near the highway with a stormwater rain garden and a gentle paved illuminated walking path along the mountain ridge to the Center, all without damaging the pristine site. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1527077121220-QTIMO72DENPYPRUDXLHS/Matlack.jpg Commercial Buchart Horn Architects, in association with the Harman Group, designed two multi-level parking structures for the Borough of West Chester. The structures totaled approximately 130,000 SF of floor area with parking for 1,000 vehicles. Matlack Street Parking Structure. Located behind the West Chester University Bull Center in West Goshen Township, this is a four-level, 500-car precast structure. Historic area zoning requirements included the use of stone (achieved by using form liners in the precast members) and architectural stains. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1527077041392-UQ64JEHW9IHTM9D8QU4C/Sharpless.jpg Commercial Buchart Horn Architects, in association with the Harman Group, designed two multi-level parking structures for the Borough of West Chester. The structures totaled approximately 130,000 SF of floor area with parking for 1,000 vehicles. Sharpless Street Parking Structure. Located at the northeast corner of Sharpless and Church Streets in the Borough of West Chester, this is a precast, five-level, 500-car parking structure built for West Chester University. Its context is transitional between the University and the residential community. Its architecture reflects the traditional row-house design of the town and uses inlaid brick and granite wall panels and spandrels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1521662811110-XKTCHD98SE70DXWYAO64/SPC.jpg Commercial St. Patrick's Church is a new 9,800-SF facility designed as a collaborative effort between Buchart Horn Architects (BHA) and the Parish Building Committee. Prior to the design phase, a programming study was conducted with church leaders to identify the ministry functions and current operations and to listen to the needs and vision of parish leaders and their ministries. The results of this study were used to synthesize design concept alternatives. Then, in developing the building architecture and layout, we incorporated design elements recommended by Built of Living Stones and the US Conference of Catholic Bishops' guidelines for Church art and architecture and included natural, timeless, durable, and reverent materials. Cloister areas surrounded by masonry arcade-like structures were situated at the building entrances for peaceful transition into the building. The structure has sloping standing seam metal roofs, skylights, stained glass windows, and a combination of brick and masonry for the exterior wall finish. In addition to the worship space (sanctuary, nave, and baptistry), the building included work and vesting sacristies, a sizable narthex for gathering, miscellaneous offices, and storage space. A partial basement houses the mechanical and electrical equipment. The high ceiling in the nave is framed with exposed wood decking and hammer beam timber trusses. In addition to incorporating existing sanctuary, furnishings, and artwork, BH custom-designed new elements, such as the altar, ambo, baptismal font, and celebrant's chair to harmonize with the existing. New furnishings including pews and a new pedestal for the tabernacle were also specified. The stained glass windows from the old church building were reused to create an interior lighted screen wall behind the sanctuary. In order to provide architecture with living and breathing sound for the liturgy and choir, an acoustic consultant was employed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1533327060118-34CJCQWEEO21BEADLN5C/turnpikenight.jpg Commercial The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) desired a new toll plaza for the electronic fares of the future as well as a new image for their mainline facilities – one that would be beautiful as well as safe, cost effective, and adaptable. This facility was the first on the PTC system that would integrate high-speed toll collection as well as manned and unmanned booths. The manned booths will disappear in the “all electronic” future. This exciting architectural design features an innovation for the Turnpike: a bridge linking both sides of the Plaza, instead of the usual service tunnel. As a result of this bridge, the Plaza has a greater visual presence than is normally expected while acting as a new portal to the Pittsburgh area for traffic on the new Mon Fayette Expressway. EZ Pass readers are concealed in the architecture. This design is intended to set a new direction for future Turnpike Facilities. Design included a pedestrian bridge for access across the high-speed lanes, site development, lighting, tollbooths, canopies, signage, and utility building and appurtenances. Steel is the main element in the bridge and on the roof because of Pittsburgh’s history as the steel capital of the world. The facility was fully integrated with the highway system through many unique features that include: • Visual security techniques, gull winged canopies curved in two directions and an arched truss provide an exciting architecture. • A unique centrally located V-shaped pier supporting the “lookout” from which the all electronic plaza will be operated by one person. • Features that allow the toll plaza to be adaptable to the state-of-the-art Electronic Tolls and Traffic Management (ETTM) System. At the mainline facility, EZ Pass capabilities allow patrons to bypass the toll collection machines while maintaining a high rate of speed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1533435823184-9AC778TVRAGRCLIN28PU/du-1024x798.jpg Commercial The Duquesne Club Health and Fitness Center, inside the fourth floor of the former Gimbel building on Sixth Avenue, was conceived to provide the Club with world class exercise facilities for an enlarging membership. This space was chosen because of its expansive floor area and its adjacency to the existing Club. The project was an ambitious undertaking for a conservative institution that wanted to respond to the needs of a changing membership. This was the first time that the 110 year old Club had ventured outside of its protective walls. Immediately inside the 21,000 SF Center’s front door is a large living room, the “meet and greet’ space and spectator area for the Fitness Center. Beyond the living room, consideration was given to the need to add scale and spatial effects, and the need to give the existing structure a new, enriched and interesting character. French limestone, in beige and black, American Beech, green marble and several granites were the materials chosen to support the classical character of the facility. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1521663534901-Z8PMHEMGDY8X31NSP7HG/76776-00AE.jpg Commercial Columbia Water Company | Plant Renovations Founded in the mid-1800s, the Columbia Water Company (CWC) operates a historic water treatment facility along the Susquehanna River. The plant features several structures on the state’s Historic Register dating back to 1849 and is located in the flood plain. While mitigating strategies have been implemented to locate critical equipment out of the flood plain and a floodwall has been constructed, CWC recognizes the unique historic significance and landlocked nature of the plant which necessitated innovative approaches to meet increasing demands. Buchart Horn Architects provided architectural design services for the renovations and additions to Columbia Water Treatment Plant in Columbia, PA. The historic facility was originally constructed in 1849 and resides on the eastern shore of the Susquehanna River. Renovations to several of the original structures on site, in addition to several new buildings, were presented to the Historic Architectural Review Board for approval prior to construction. Existing support structures were modified to support the water treatment process by lifting all essential equipment out of the floodplain. Traditional brick detailing, copper gutters, and wrought-iron fences were used to balance new construction with existing conditions. New site work included security fencing and a concrete ice wall with a brick finish to protect vital equipment from floating ice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1521661796529-JT31WCPGOSIX4MS1H9UX/Columbia.jpg Commercial Columbia River Park | Visitors Center The Borough of Columbia developed a phased improvement plan to their Columbia Riverfront Park, the historic four acre park located along the Susquehanna River at 41 Walnut Street within the Columbia Borough Historic District. Phase I was completed in May 2010 and provides safe access to the river for boaters, anglers, canoes, kayaks, motorized and non-motorized recreational craft, as well as picnickers, hikers, birders, and even photographers and painters who want an unobstructed view of the graceful arches of the Columbia/Wrightsville bridge reflected in the majestic Susquehanna River. Phase I improvements included improvements and expansion of the boating facilities, pedestrian walkways, a canoe/kayak launching area, picnic areas, pedestrian access to the Susquehanna River, Best Management Practices for stormwater quality control, and natural restoration of the park’s Susquehanna riverbank. The Best Management Practices included both engineered and natural components. As the Susquehanna River floods the park on a regular basis, we didn’t want to use porous paving in areas where the flood water would deposit silt and possibly encourage vegetation to grow within the voids, damaging the surfaces. However, we determined the 50 year flood elevation, which seemed like a good compromise, and as the parking lot was located at the upper end of the park, it and the concrete sidewalks were installed with pervious materials. Columbia River Park supports the principles of smart growth, by preserving open space, revitalizing an important community resource, providing increased opportunities for pedestrian and non-motorized transportation, and protecting environmentally sensitive areas. This project has enhanced the quality of life for Columbia residents and for all those who visit this historic, cultural, and natural resource, which had been underutilized and, when fully developed, will realize its potential for the community. This project will have a direct effect on downtown business vitality, encouraging others to live and work in the core community of Columbia Borough. Development of the park has enhanced the quality of life in the area and supports the positive development that is underway around the site. The Columbia Riverfront Park will serve as a trailhead for the Northwest River Trail project, and as a hub for the Susquehanna River Water Trail, designated as a National Recreation Trail in 2008. The River Park is also designated as a trailhead for the Susquehanna River Birding and Wildlife Trail within the Susquehanna Greenway. More than 20 state and local agencies and programs were involved in the project with the mission of promoting, preserving and enhancing the culture, heritage and related commerce and recreational activities including the Community Conservation Partnerships Program, the local school district, county and regional agencies, and State Representative offices. Borough of Columbia is blessed with many individuals willing to give of themselves for the good of the community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1522857935269-4P1W3G5X14N7WQ41P820/76103-00L.jpg Commercial A total of $4.7 million worth of stimulus funds were allocated to Charleston's Yeager Airport for terminal building improvements including: Pedestrian Bridge and Elevator - New pedestrian bridge providing a weather safe connector between the long-term parking garage and the Terminal Building.

Borough Council decided to demolish and replace the facility with a new seven-story garage with 689 parking spaces. Buchart Horn provided planning and architectural and engineering design for the new facility, which is more attractive, safer, and more convenient for users. After presentation of several alternatives, the selected design, intended to blend with the Borough’s historic downtown, has a precast brick exterior whose color and texture match the local context. The design includes large arches to create a civic gesture and uses banners, awnings, ironwork, and window boxes on the lower level to provide pedestrian scale. The structure incorporates a third elevator, better security, ‘graffiti guard’ treatment for the stairwells, and other amenities. Debris from the demolition was recycled, processed on-site, and reused in the structure’s foundation. Parking system revenues were pledged to fund the debt that financed the garage, which had a final cost of $12,056,850. The new facility opened in the fall of 2010. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1533435315389-GV5W4OE6D4EYLYPMIP2W/4F-Market-Street-wine-bar.jpg Commercial Buchart Horn Architects was hired by Developer Ralph Falbo and his partners to renovate the historic Thompson Building into a upscale urban grocery store located in the chic Market Square area of downtown Pittsburgh.

The site development guideline, generated in association with The Conservation Fund, specified protecting natural resources and minimizing negative impact on the environment. The guidelines specifically addressed stormwater management objectives, including using of Best Management Practices. BHA provided civil engineering services for a planned 165-acre research campus including preparation of land development plans and approvals, erosion and sediment control design and permitting, DEP, NPDES permitting, construction documents, cost estimates, value engineering, bidding, and construction administration and inspection-related services. The 165-acre parcel included a restored stream, protection of the associated floodplain habitat, native vegetation enhancement, and extensive implementation of Stormwater BMP. The development did not disturb areas within the 100-year floodplain and was a minimum distance of 200 feet from the tributary. Center employees and visitors have the option of alternative transportation as it is within ¼ mile of two bus routes and a free shuttle to HCAR. The site also included a connection to the Jonathan Eshenour Memorial Bike Trail located on the property. The stormwater management plan limits the peak discharge rate by promoting infiltration and by controlling discharge rates from two stormwater basins. Stormwater runoff is treated by using rain gardens, vegetated swales, and bio-swales, and is minimized using vegetated pervious pavement for fire lanes. The parking lot is divided by linear landscaped bio-swales that collect runoff and slow and filter the water using small dams spaced in the swales, promoting infiltration and slowing the water, allowing solids to settle out prior to entering the inlet at the end of the swale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2a9e4b10598d066716387/1649708947618-DP5KUQWT0Q1JEF90E6Y1/CF2016-01G.jpg Commercial Our team designed renovations and an expansion to the Ligonier Valley YMCA.
