The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh – East Liberty was originally built in 1905. Later, in 1969 the library moved to its current location at the corner of Baum Boulevard and South Whitfield Street. With a historical building like this, it takes time and care to renovate the space.

Shannon Construction renovated their front desk area on the first floor and back area space on the second floor. The front desk area was renovated with a new customer service desk and seating and shelving casework areas.

On the second floor, there was an unfinished back area space. We added new offices, a conference room, a kitchen, and organization for their storage room.

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 The kitchen hosted outdated, marred millwork and appliances.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.
