Our firm’s current work includes a diverse mix of new construction, renovation and restoration. Here are a few projects we are working on:
CHANCELLOR GREEN, Princeton University - Built in 1873, Chancellor Green Library at Princeton University was Princeton’s first purpose-built library. Designed by William A. Potter in the High Victorian Gothic style, the building features strong geometric forms, rich ornamentation, and a marvelous octagonal rotunda. Working with lighting designers Fisher Marantz Stone, our firm is currently performing significant lighting and electrical upgrades to the rotunda. The challenge is to augment a vibrant multi-purpose program, which includes lectures, dinners, musical performances, and receptions, while at the same time maintaining its historic character. The work is slated to be complete by September 2009.
NEW SOUTH, Princeton University - We have begun work renovating seven floors of the New South Building at Princeton University. New South was built in 1964, designed by well-known architect Edward Larrabee Barnes. In addition to several administrative departments, we are providing new spaces for two renowned academic departments — the Creative Writing Program and the Theater and Dance Program. This will be the first of many arts programs to move to the western edge of Princeton’s campus, the area of the proposed Lewis Center for the Arts. Construction is to begin in late 2009.

CHESTNUT HILL FRIENDS MEETING, Philadelphia, PA - Philadelphia is the cradle of American Quakerism. It is rare that a Quaker Meeting constructs a new Meetinghouse, but recently Chestnut Hill Monthly Meeting selected our firm to undertake such a project in the heart of historic Chestnut Hill. The building is being designed to rigorous standards of sustainability. The new facility will provide space for worship, workshops, social functions, and First Day School. The project is being done in collaboration with artist James Turrell, and landscape architects, Andropogon Associates.

MAIN LINE ART CENTER, Lower Merion, PA - Our firm was recently selected by the Main Line Art Center for two projects intended to augment MLAC's unique mission. Renovations and an addition to the existing art center in Haverford, PA, and renovations of a 19th century barn in Rosemont, PA. The art center project will include a new entry, office suite, and several teaching studios. The barn will be restored and converted into two painting studios, office and gallery space, and a multi-purpose room. Both projects will be designed to strict sustainability standards, with the initial goal of a LEED Gold rating.
RADNOR MUSEUM, Saint Davids, PA - Founded in 1682, Radnor Township is one of the oldest townships in Pennsylvania. Working with Township officials, the Radnor Historical Society and Historic Architectural Review Board, we have begun work on a permanent museum display, highlighting the cultural, social, and architectural history of the township. The design will include didactic graphics, artifact display, and exhibition cases for rotating exhibits. Installation is scheduled for late 2009 in the Township Building.
ERDMAN HALL, Bryn Mawr College - Erdman Hall at Bryn Mawr College is considered on of the masterworks of the great modern architect Louis I. Kahn. We are currently overseeing selected renovations within the 150-bed residence hall. The challenge is to modernize and bring into code compliance spaces within the building, while maintaining the integrity and intention of the original design. Phase 1 of the project is currently under construction, with completion for fall 2009. Phase 2 is slated for summer 2010.
