Architect for President's Kitchen Project

Kimmel Bogrette Architecture & Site

August marks back-to-school month and the completion of two higher education projects with Slippery Rock University. Both the President’s kitchen and Vincent Science Center - Engineering Labs received a renovation on their existing space.

Slippery Rock University recently determined the need for renovations to their President’s home. The kitchen hosted outdated, marred millwork and appliances. As the new President prepared for her move, Shannon prepared the kitchen. Walls were removed to create an open concept complete with new millwork, appliances, paint, and tile work.

The Engineering Labs was a redesign of existing classrooms to create three new engineering labs. The renovated labs consist of new flooring, lab casework, glass marker boards, exhaust hoods, and painting. The students will return to newly renovated labs this fall semester.

The Feeder Canal Building, located at 647 Main St Johnstown, PA., has weathered devastating floods, fires, and time. Over the past 100-plus years, it has been an office for a senator, dentist, and contracting company, among others. The number of renovations has been vast, with most only adding layers to the sturdy bones of the building and hiding its history.

However, when Shannon Construction partnered with Strada Architects and The Commonwealth Charter Academy (CCA) to renovate the approximately 30,000 SF building and 7,000 SF exterior space into a new Cyber Academy, the old layers were removed, allowing the original structure to be highlighted.

Shannon Construction has had a long relationship with Carnegie Libraries of Pittsburgh. The Knoxville location needed updating and expanded. Abundant daylight and welcoming open space mark the eco-friendly transformation of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh-Knoxville. Perforated panels made from recycled materials are placed in front of new floor-to-ceiling windows preserving the building's historic appearance while filtering light into the room.

With the additional 900 square feet of useable space and a new outdoor deck for the Children's Area with a decorative "fence" to buffer Brownsville Road and expanded room for teens and adults areas, the renovated library now offers a larger, more intimate space.

The organization that provides programs, services, research, and accreditation to graduate schools of theology engaged Shannon Construction as their general contractor to complete a renovation of their headquarters in RIDC Industrial Park.

This space consisted of 60% private offices and 40% common space, including kitchens, boardroom, meeting rooms, storage rooms, library, and new entry/vestibule. The occupied renovation consisted of 3 phases of construction where Shannon Construction ensured the Theological team could maintain a high level of productivity.

“Shannon not only offered the best value for our budget; they also were a delight to work with. Throughout the project, we were impressed with their positive can-do attitude in the face of the inevitable unforeseen challenges that arise in a major renovation and with their commitment to getting every detail completed to our satisfaction. The finished product was delivered on time and under budget. We love it!…"
