In June of 2012, our fi rm was selected to begin the planning and analysis of the current North and South HS facili es. The Board pursed a number of op ons exploring on site solu ons as well as a new consolidated facility. Demographics show a rela vely steady enrollment, however the focus of the project was developing a 21st Century educa onal model and iden fying facility needs to accommodate 2,400 students.

We developed six building concepts, exploring both current on site facili es as well as three poten al off site scenarios. The Board established an aggressive schedule to pursue analyzing each op on by way of a decision matrix and ongoing public input obtained during mul ple community forums. The Board elected to stay on the current Westerly Parkway site and provide addi ons and renova ons to the current with a maximum total project cost of $115M.

Our team completed a fi nal schema c design solu on for the May 2014 voter referendum, which was successful. CRA is currently moving forward with comple on of the drawings for bidding and subsequent construc on.

Our fi rm’s comprehensive study and schema c design of the State College Area High School included the integra on of STEAM (Science, Technology, Arts & Math)programming into the current curriculum. This programming will allow all students to par cipate as well as provide diverse program op ons through a partnerships with Penn State University and State College Career and Technical Center (CTC). Poten al partnerships with Penn State University include internships and coopera ve learning opportuni es. These partnerships will provide the necessary hands on, collabora ve learning experiences that will be er prepare students with cri cal thinking, crea vity and communica on skills as they move forward into college and university courses.

Crabtree, Rohrbaugh & Associates conducted a District Wide Facility Study for Donegal School District to evaluate condi ons at several schools. At the conclusion of the study, it was proposed to build a new high school to replace the current building.

The New Donegal High School is a state of the art facility that addresses the district’s program, educa onal and technology needs of the students of Donegal School District. The two story building holds approximately 1200 students and provides unique programs such as photography, visual communica ons and CADD and Engineering technology. The new school includes a state of the art auditorium that is surrounded with band, music and choral rooms. The new gymnasium is supported by an auxiliary gym with locker weight rooms. Also included is a media center which provides small classroom instruc on and conference and mee ng rooms.

Donegal High School received Green Globes 1 cer fi ca on. This was achieved by increased roof and wall insula on, including high effi ciency HVAC systems, windows and doors. All classrooms are daylighted and contain automated systems for ligh ng control.

The project team assisted with the referendum process for the Donegal High School project. In the end the project was supported by the community.

The project included total site design and recrea onal fi elds.

The addi ons and renova ons to the Chambersburg Area Senior High School involved a comprehensive rehabilita on to the exis ng school with a 330,000 SF addi on. The renovated facility was expanded to accommodate 2,000 Students. The project allows for the renova on and expansion of exis ng performing arts center, a new compe on gymnasium, cafeteria, kitchen, library and a new three-story classroom wing.

Unique spaces in the gym consist of a separate weight training and cardio fi tness rooms, auxiliary gym for wrestling, all supplemented by an instruc onal classroom. Also included in the design are Boys and Girls Team rooms, trainers facility and offi cials locker facili es. Of special interest is the hall of fame, new lobby/corridor which houses all of the Districts previous and future awards, trophies and accommoda ons for school store and concession area.

Gym equipment can be remotely controlled and programmed to raise and lower backstops, curtains and bleachers as needed to allow maximum use of the facility.

The school is equipped with both a student run bookstore as well as credit union. Both of these businesses will provide the students with real-world experiences and educa on for the future. The project included total site design and recrea onal fi elds.

[My] favorite thing about the renovated building is the 12,000-square-foot library, which opened at the beginning of this school year. The library is loaded with dozens of computers and ample work space.

Benjamin Chambers Elementary SchoolChambersburg Area School District / New Construction / 92,790 SF

““In addition to the size and topography of the site, Crabtree, Rohrbaugh & Associates faced the challenge of adapting an existing design of a school currently under construction in the district to the Benjamin Chambers site to ensure equity between the schools and maximum cost effectiveness.

Crabtree, Rohrbaugh & Associates has designed this K-5 facility which is located on an urban site in Chambersburg Pennsylvania. The site presented mul ple challenges with its size and the topography. In addi on, the client wanted to u lize a prototype design from another of the district’s elementary schools to have equity at both schools and also gain the effi ciencies and hopefully lower construc on costs of building the same design twice. At Benjamin Chambers Elementary, we modifi ed the site design to have both the bus and parent drop-off areas in front of the building keeping them separated with a long concrete walk accessible to both drop-off areas. The bus drop-off area also acts as the hard surface play area for recess due to the limited usable site area. We modifi ed the classroom wings to be shorter in plan but made them three stories in height instead of two, to accommodate the steep topography. From the front of the building you would not know that the classroom wings are three stories as the addi onal story goes down with the grade and emp es out onto the lower play areas.

The school accommodates 1,450 students from 9th through 12th grades. The original building was constructed in 1970 and required a total renova on to replace mechanical, electrical, plumbing systems, interior fi nishes, windows and roof throughout the facility. In conjunc on with these renova ons the school district took advantage of the opportunity to reorganize the building for the future of their educa onal program.

Modifi ca ons included dayligh ng the exis ng internal classrooms, accommoda ng a 9th grade program, introduc on of instruc onal planning centers to encourage team teaching and maximize classroom effi ciency and centraliza on of high school offi ce administra on. Other modifi ca ons included crea ng open teaching areas to foster large group instruc on, technical educa on geared to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and teamed organiza on of core curriculum programs.

Addi ons include a two story classroom block that also serves as a “Main Street” for the building connec ng student, athle c and faculty entrances. Addi ons also include a new compe on sized gymnasium and science wing. Addi ons were designed to transform the façade of the building crea ng a modern expression of secondary educa on and unique iden ty requested by the school district.

The facility was designed to meet U.S. Green Building LEED Gold standards. This included reconfi gura on of the exis ng site, increased thermal envelope insula on, high effi ciency mechanical system that currently are projected to reduce energy consump on by 30% over na onal standards. It is expected that water use will be reduced by more than 40%. Local materials will be selected for their durability and ability to reduce construc on cost.

The facility is designed with a “main street” which separates the large program spaces, such as the gymnasium, auditorium, cafeteria and media center, from the academic spaces. The entry ves bule design provides security card access control and requires all visitors to enter the building through the supervised administra on area. The classroom wing is designed in a system to achieve appropriate separa on between grade levels. Eighth grade is located on the fi rst fl oor, while sixth and seventh grade are on the second fl oor. The par ally rectangular footprint minimizes building perimeter and allows for a more effi cient HVAC system. The building angle design responds to the views of the Ge ysburg ba lefi elds and addi onally maintain classrooms on an east-west axis to u lize northern and southern day light into the educa onal spaces. On the interior the overlapping grid creates a visually s mula ng sequence of interior and exterior views throughout the building. Throughout the facility corridors are developed to employ visual and tac le domains with tackable surfacing and display boards at child height. Casework is designed for age appropriate use in each classroom.

The exterior of the building u lizes brick masonry and ground-face masonry veneer of red and gray for durability. The masonry veneer wraps into the public spaces, coupled with large amounts of natural light, blurs the transi on from exterior to interior space. The interior fl ooring uses maroon and grays, which are networked in a grid pa ern of terrazzo fl ooring in the lobby, main corridor and cafeteria, which con nue in a sidewalk scoring pa ern into the courtyard and main entry plaza.

Site work includes the straightening of Lefever Street to allow be er vehicular traffi c fl ow into the new entrance and exit driveways of the new middle school and exis ng Lincoln Elementary School. Separate bus drop off from the parent drop off are incorporated to avoid vehicular conges on and enhance safety. Considera ons were also taken into account for pedestrian and bicycle traffi c through the site. The exis ng athle c stadium will remain in place but will have a closer proximity to the school locker rooms. Event parking will allow visitors easier access to the athle c stadium and the new middle school gymnasium and auditorium.

Public spaces are arranged along “Main Street” which acts as a way-fi nding element and group gathering/staging space. Administra ve offi ces have visual access to the transporta on areas, as well as maintain physical security via the secure ves bule entry system.

The gymnasium and cafeteria are separated via a common stage to allow for fl exible programming. Gymnasium func ons serve both academic programming as well as community sports events as will the proposed athle c fi elds.

The facility is adjacent to the Manor Middle School and connected to the community via pedestrian paths. Bus and parent drop off drives are separated.

Exis ng Condi ons:The exis ng Lafaye e Elementary School was comprised of several addi ons da ng back from 1926 and again in 1983. The urban se ng and limited available space on site presented issues with both vehicular and pedestrian traffi c, safe student pick-up/drop zones and lacked adequate parking.

The Districts master plan iden fi ed the need to update the en re facility in order to convert the current 6-8 grade building to a K-5 elementary school, provide space to meet their programma c needs, replace all major building systems and provide a technology infrastructure throughout.

Site Development:The site was re-confi gured to iden fy clear separa on of both bus and parent drop zones and increased staff and public parking. Play areas were developed with appropriate supervision and the cafeteria now allows access to an outdoor pa o.

Renova ons:The exis ng 1983 two story addi on was suitable to meet the new program requirements and underwent comprehensive renova ons to all interior fi nishes and replacement of all major building systems.

New Construc on:Due to the limited space available, the design needed to accommodate phased construc on by fi rst comple ng a two story academic wing which would enable students to vacate the 1926 por on prior to demoli on, then a connec ng wing was constructed to join the new academic wing to the fully renovated 1983 wing.

The project features a curtain wall glass lobby and corridor which unifi es the en re plan by distribu ng natural day ligh ng throughout and provides space for large events in the gymnasium/cafeteria.

The stark austere architecture of the original building has been replaced by a visually open school fi lled with color and with integrated technologies to provide for a s mula ng learning environment. The new construc on incorporates brick to match the exis ng west wing and also introduces contras ng materials and color by use of glazed brick and le to express diff erent building layers and forms.

“The school needed a complete update. All the work that had been done there over the years had been before the school used computers,” he explains. “The last time was 1983 so bringing the building up to meet the bonanza of today’s technology was high on the list of priorities.
