Successful projects increasingly rely on the deft management of both cost and time, and L2Partridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s professional experiences have positioned us well to provide skillful leadership in this area. The economic drivers are different for every project and while our portfolio demonstrates vast experience, we do not assume to understand what the important influences to each project will be. Key to our mutual success is a shared understanding of the important business drivers behind the project, and the establishment of an open and honest dialogue between owner, designer and constructor.

EJ DESETA OFFICE | METAL FABRICATION

LOCATION: Wilmington, DE STATUS: Completed 2006 SIZE: 100,000 SF

The design expresses the elegant character of a modern workplace â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the functional requirements blend a highly active environment with planning strategies that provide natural light and views throughout. The building serves as the home for the Buccini/Pollin Group, a real estate developer, and EJ DeSeta, a metal fabrication company. The 100,000 SF building is split to reflect the two components of the program: metal fabrication workshop (75,000 SF) and office area (25,000 SF). The office building is elevated a full story, creating a covered parking area underneath and boldly asserting its presence at the street intersection. The offices are split in two levels; the lower houses the EJ DeSeta offices and connects via

a bridge to a mezzanine level above the shop. The third level houses the headquarter offices of development group, the Buccini/Pollin Group. The building design has been distinguished with the following awards: 2006, Silver Medal from the Pennsylvania Society of Architects 2005, Gold Medal, AIA Philadelphia Chapter 2003, Honor Award for an Un-Built Project, AIA Philadelphia Chapter

LOCATION: Malvern, PA STATUS: Completed 2014 SIZE: 300,000 SF

The collaborative Integrated Project Delivery effort between the design disciplines and the CM enabled the team to complete the project—design to occupancy—within 15 months. L2Partridge assisted Endo’s real estate, legal, financial and operations partners with the analysis of potential locations, developer relationships, capital investment and development opportunities to satisfy Endo’s real estate criteria. The result was the selection of a greenfield site at the Atwater Campus in Malvern, PA with Trammell Crow Company as the developer and IMC Construction as the construction manager. Collaboration between the developer, design team, construction team and local municipality permitted the implementation of timely, well thought-

out decisions regarding the site, building position, structural system and building exterior envelope. Real time cost data provided by the construction team allowed the design team to craft a facility design that responds to the project design criteria in a cost-effective manner. L2Partridge employed a two-team design approach – building core & shell and interior fit-out– to execute the design in a FastTrack/ multiple design package delivery model.

LOCATION: Chadds Ford, PA STATUS: In Progress

The narrow 90’ wide office building with floor to ceiling glazing maximizes the infusion of natural light into the work environment.

SIZE: 72,000 SF This project is a 72,000 SF office building with three levels, each at 24,000 SF. Unique to the design of this building is the creation of a roof level terrace. The terrace will be used as a regular employee location for company social events and as a break-out zone for meetings and conferences.

THE BUCCINI POLLIN GROUP CORPORATE CAMPUS

LOCATION: Wilmington, DE STATUS: Proposed SIZE: 450,000 SF

Located along the Christina River, the orientation of the buildings and the use of glass facades maximize views to the river and the Wilmington skyline. This confidential client currently occupies +400,000 SF of space in various locations throughout the city of Wilmington. This leads to duplication of services and inefficiency of operations. In an effort to improve efficiency and to improve the overall work environment for the employee base, effort is being made to consolidate operations to a single location within Wilmington.

a training conference center, full service cafeteria, and an employee amenity area were also required.

The program consists of office space and a call center facility totaling 450,000 SF. As part of the program,

The development will also include a parking structure large enough for 2,000 vehicles.

As part of our commitment to green architecture, every effort is being made to achieve a highly sustainable building. A sense of environmental responsibility is supported by the entire design and ownership team.

LOCATION: Chadds Ford, PA STATUS: In Progress SIZE: 75,000 SF

Precast concrete wall panels with three-dimensional contouring highlight the building exterior providing a sense of depth and texture. This project is a 75,000 SF office building with three levels each at 25,000 SF. Unique to this design effort is the site plan with parking and sidewalks had already been designed and given land development approval. The proposed building had to fit into the area that had been designated on the existing site plan. This caused the building plan to have a slight bend in the geometry in order to successfully fit the site. The angular geometry shift in the plan is used to accent the building entrance and to provide a rationale for variations

in the patterning of the facade. The building exterior, which will be cast as precast panels, was designed using advanced 3D software techniques and will be digitally fabricated to achieve seamless contours. By developer standards, the building is relatively narrow, with a 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122; cross section width. Nine foot ceiling are anticipated throughout.

iSTAR FINANCIAL CORPORATE OFFICE | CALL CENTER

LOCATION: Warrington, PA STATUS: Proposed SIZE: 65,000 SF

The “Call Center” paradigm is altered with an architecture that celebrates an open plan with tall 10’ ceilings and floor to ceiling glass. Located adjacent to a neighborhood “Town Center” this proposed twostory office building is designed for a corporate user as a call center dedicated to their eastern operations.

The building exterior materials used on the facades are composite metal panels, high-density fiber cement panels in a rain screen application, and an energy efficient curtain wall glazing system.

The ground floor program houses the corporate executive team, conference center and an employee cafeteria. The second floor is dedicated to the call center. Unique to this call center are the tall 10’ ceilings, the floor-to-ceiling glass perimeter and the infusion of natural light in the work environment.

With an on-site parking ratio of 7 cars per 1,000 SF of gross building area, the site is not large enough to surface park all 490 cars. The adjacent Town Center has extra capacity to take the over flow parking. A pedestrian bridge will be constructed across the wooded area to make the walk convenient.

USPS BULK MAIL DISTRIBUTION FACILITY

LOCATION: Philadelphia, PA STATUS: Completed 2006 SIZE: 930,000 SF

The Architectural expression of the building is derived from the character of the tripartite program of shipping, processing, and administration. This facility is in close proximity to the Philadelphia International Airport, thereby implementing a more efficient means of distribution. The Postal Service has enhanced its capabilities with a computer aided network that processes mail with greater accuracy than ever before. This sophisticated operation extends over an expansive two-level workroom totaling 630,000 SF that extensively utilizes mechanized equipment and conveying systems. Shipping/receiving, support,

and mechanical areas surround both levels of the processing function. A three-story high circulation spine links the work and administrative areas while concentrating and securely organizing employee movement through the facility. Infused with light during the day and dramatically lit at night, this environment has been designed to welcome the employees and provide respite from the highly functional workroom.

LINCOLN SQUARE FOOD MARKET

LOCATION: Philadelphia, PA STATUS: Feasibility Study SIZE: 55,000 SF

The transparency of the addition emphasizes the V-Shape structural frame, recalling the open iron truss design of the existing train shed structure. The historic train shed, located on Broad and Carpenter Streets was analyzed for a potential adaptive reuse as a food store. The open, column free space lends itself well to many potential new uses but the large volume of the train shed interior seemed particularly attractive as a neighborhood grocery market. The floor area of the existing train shed (25,000 SF) is not by itself large enough to make a food market commercially viable. An addition is required to double the area. This addition provided the design team

with an opportunity to better address Broad Street as the train shed building sits about 150â&#x20AC;&#x2122; back from the street. The design of the addition attempts to balance its modern, open aesthetic with the historical character of the existing architecture.

CHRISTINA CROSSING RETAIL CENTER

LOCATION: Wilmington, DE STATUS: Completed 2009 SIZE: 180,000 SF

The “Brown Field” site was turned into a commercial retail center with sustainability in mind. The food market has a parking deck on the roof to reduce the parking footprint on the site. The retail center, implemented by the Buccini Pollin Group, is one additional step of a much larger vision for the South Market district of Wilmington. Earlier development by BPG in this district saw the addition of a combination of townhouses, apartments and condominium residential units, along with their own corporate headquarters building. In order to support additional residential and corporate development, the master plan called for a retail center that would have the retail amenities needed to support a community.

The retail center’s anchor tenant is a national supermarket chain. The supermarket is a 75,000 SF building design specifically for this use. Parking on the roof deck for approximately 200 vehicles is in addition to the surface parking, making it more convenient for the costumer. The site was a “brown field”, requiring much of the existing soils to undergo a decontamination process. All of the storm water is contained and filtered through the use of below grade infiltration beds.

The introduction of natural / native colors and wayfinding signage helps the employees navigate their way around this large facility.

SIZE: 350,000 SF This Pre-Clinical Facility for a Contract Research Organization is an adaptive reuse of an existing facility that was originally designed as a printing and distribution facility for State Farm Insurance. The robust nature of the existing construction lends itself well to the new program. The existing warehouse space was tall enough to allow the design team to add an additional floor of research program space. A secondary structure was required

to support the additional floor and the new mechanical equipment on the roof. The facility program includes office / administration space, employee amenity areas, and R&D Areas. The design teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scope of services included site / facility due diligence study; programming for the research and development groups and the administrative areas; architecture; engineering; and Value Management facilitation.

Site and building security was a major focus of the design, with careful attention given to providing the necessary design features to enable a secure site and building. Natural light enhances many of the spaces with new skylights and windows.

Incyte’s relocation marked the emergence of a new leadership team with the retirement of the CEO. The new leadership desired an environment that supported the highly collaborative environment of a research company. The challenge was that the new structure desired a much stronger interface between science and administration colleagues – not a more segregated environment

of a traditional Research Company. The design solution drove the cultural goal of increased interface of the science / admin colleagues through the use of strategic adjacencies, amenities throughout the facility and the use of “war zones” that supplied environments for multi-discipline team projects that fostered cross pollenation of groups within the company.

NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE RESEARCH MODEL PRODUCTION FACILITY

LOCATION: Frederick, MD STATUS: Completed 2008 SIZE: 35,000 SF

The primary functional areas of the building are comprised of a series of isolated “barrier” rooms necessary to provide clean, controlled environments serving as “husbandry” facilities. This project, a Research Model Facility, was constructed under a $100M, ten-year contract engagement with the National Cancer Institute with some funding provided by the National Institutes of Health. The primary functional areas of the building are comprised of a series of isolated “barrier” rooms necessary to provide clean, controlled environments serving as “husbandry” facilities. The other programmatic elements in the facility include office / administration areas, a surgery laboratory, and micro-isolation suites for transgenic model production.

The project utilized a modular design to optimize efficient and flexible holding and support functions. Mechanical distribution systems are organized in a central corridor outside the barrier room to allow maintenance to occur without disruption to the scientific spaces. All systems utilize a central plant producing steam and chilled water. A central vacuum bedding system collects waste from each barrier room into a central dumpster system for proper disposal.

A narrow, 14’-wide site yields great opportunity to activate the corner and enhance the surrounding urban context.

SIZE: 3,000 SF This project is a 3,000 SF addition to an existing five-story apartment building in the Old City area of Philadelphia. Located on the corner of 3rd and Arch street, the vacant lot adjacent to the existing building is 14’ wide. The existing façade, which is the demising wall between the two properties, is a blank façade and shows the scars of the former historic building that was

lost to destruction in the early 1970’s. The two properties have been joined as a single entity, allowing the design team to penetrate the existing demising wall with new openings. The floor plate of the existing apartment building is expanded by 14’ allowing for an increase in the number of rentable units.

The proposed design carefully considers the surrounding architectural context in regard to façade materials, color, texture, window/façade penetration scale and overall building heights. The proposed design places importance on the articulation of the corner and highlights this with a fivestory vertical glass curtain wall.

The cabin, a retreat from the noise and chaos of New York City, is strategically positioned in an existing strand of oak trees and rock outcroppings with its primary view orientated towards the pond. The client, Mr. Burns lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Mr. Burns grew up in the Leigh Valley area of Pennsylvania and wanted to find a property that would afford him respite from Brooklyn during the weekends and would put him in closer proximity to his aging parents. The 17 acre site in Quakertown is less than two hours from Brooklyn, making escape to solitude easy. The cabin is designed as a small, selfsustained home with a strong emphasis on connecting with the outdoors. As one

approaches the cabin, which canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be seen from the road, a view of one of the ponds beyond is immediately visible. The deck, which protrudes through the cabin, offers a place for contemplation and relaxation. The fireplace, which is accessible both inside and outside of the cabin is intentionally placed in the center of the structure to allow for use during all seasons and provides residual heat throughout the small space. Mr. Burns also requested space be made for his beloved dog, Mickey.
