Ontelaunee Township, Regional Police, Public Works & Administration Building

As part of a new five-acre Municipal Campus for Ontelaunee Township in Berks County, Kimmel Bogrette designed a new one-story building to house the Administration and Public Works Departments, as well as the Northern Berks Police. The design allows for the creation of a community icon, as well as the expandability of the facility to meet future growth needs. Each department achieves its own entrance that is integrated around the common communal areas. At one level, the building’s form is a direct response to its agrarian setting while, at another, the building is an example of contemporary construction technology.
