Leesport, PA
As part of a new five-acre Municipal Campus for Ontelaunee Township, Berks County, Kimmel Bogrette designed a one-story, 17,000-square-foot Municipal Complex to house the Township Administration and Public Works Departments, as well as the Northern Berks Regional Police. The design allows for the creation of a community icon, as well as the expandability of the facility to meet future growth in the area. Each department achieves its own entrance that is integrated around the common communal areas. The new facility is designed to put forward a contemporary image reflecting the township’s new surge in development, while also acknowledging the area’s rural roots.
