Construction Progresses on Forward-Thinking, Sustainable Township Building
Steel has risen to define the unique shape of a new 17,000-square-foot Administration and Public Works building for Hanover Township in Allentown, PA. The Township wanted a contemporary and eye-catching building that would incorporate green design features and fulfill the Township’s current and future needs for space and functionality. Kimmel Bogrette’s design features a forward-thinking, two-story building for administrative offices, a lobby and public meeting room for 50 to 75 people, as well as a one-story public works garage. Green design features include a green roof over the administration wing and solar panels over the public works garage, as well as geothermal heating and cooling, wind turbines, and rain / grey water reclamation. A meadow with flowers, shrubs, bushes and wild grasses will frame the two parts of the building.
