West Lampeter Township, Police, Public Works & Administration

This project began as a study to determine the feasibility of reusing the existing municipal building, which was formerly a public school. After a thorough analysis, it was determined that a new facility was the best approach. On the same site, the team planned for a new, single-story municipal facility to be constructed behind the existing building. Upon completion of the new facility, the township would then relocate before the former building was razed and the site work completed. Each department is organized on the site to give each an individual identity and a respective level of public accessibility. The Police and Public Works form an “L” which allows for the privacy and screening of vehicles and creates separate public and staff areas. The Administration Department is situated between the wings in order to provide easy visibility and access for the public.
