5. LETTER
FROM THE
PRINCIPAL When asked about our firm, I like to refer to APA as a “boutique” architectural design
office. This is not only because of our size but because of our studio-like, hands-on,
personalized approach we take on every project. This enables us to work effectively
on small, budget-conscious projects as well as to serve as Local Architect partnering
with national firms on large-scale project teams. We outsource our engineering so we
may provide specific experience and expertise in their fields that will contribute most
effectively to our professional team.
Having been a part of APA’s development since 1986, I have experienced our firm’s
culture evolve over the years. Still, the consistency in our work ethic and our desire
to find the best, most responsible building solutions has helped us to build strong
relationships with current clients and to establish a solid foundation for garnering new.
Centre Region Parks and Recreation is no exception and we truly celebrate the 20-year
relationship we have established!
Dedicated to our heritage as well as to the future of both the Centre Region and Penn
State communities, at APA we strive to meld local culture and history with innovative
design solutions to meet a particular project’s parameters. APA specializes in both new
and renovation design and planning, including historic preservation and adaptive reuse.
We also maintain expertise in sustainable building technologies and high performance
buildings -- the most cutting-edge trend in environmental and energy building design.
In my 40+ years in the construction industry, I have learned that one truth remains
certain: the architect/client relationship is pivotal. And this can only be maintained
through dependable effort, a quality product, and the conscientious balancing of
budget with responsible design. This booklet is dedicated to CRPR’s success and we are
honored to have been a partner with many of your projects. We look forward to the
next 20-years of success as your partner!

8. CORE VALUES
We define ourselves through five core values that serve as the foundation for every project. Each project is unique and thus
deserves individualized attention from conception to completion. We strive to exceed the expectations of our clients.
CREATIVE, RESPONSIBLE DESIGN
Balancing innovation with our appreciation for tradition, APArchitects provides comprehensive solutions that scale with our
clients’ project needs. Our practice’s longstanding presence in the Centre Region has led to our expertise in local and state
code requirements. As we manage the design process, we work to select innovative technologies and materials that not
only advance a building’s performance but that also respect the project budget and schedule.
COMMUNICATION AS A PRIORITY
APA has worked to successfully build a reputation for hands-on engagement throughout the design process.
Consistent, open interaction with the client, consultants, and contractors, ensures a transparent process that allows
us to capitalize on opportunities and to foresee and overcome challenges. It is important to us that everyone
involved in a project feel invested in order to meet goals efficiently and effectively. This is what makes a
successful project.
ENDURING SERVICE
We know the importance of gathering information and “doing our homework” during the feasibility phase
of every project, working closely with the client, to identify needs and to develop an appropriate and
tailored program. As projects progress through design and into construction, we remain proactive
in the process. Commitment and timely response are not only goals of ours, but standards. As a
representative of the client, we work on your behalf to ensure that your vision is successfully realized.
COMMUNITY
We work in the best interest of our friends and neighbors here in Central Pennsylvania. Because
we are part of our community fabric, we are aware and sensitive to the cultural and historical
context and in crafting our design appropriately. How we represent our community and
clients through our design product also affects how APA is portrayed; therefore, it is essential
to us that through each project we build and maintain the trust of our clients and greater
community.
ONE ENVIRONMENT
Realizing the importance of a symbiotic relationship we as a culture have with our
environment influences the whole of what we do at APArchitects. Through our
membership with the USGBC®
and staff LEED®
accreditation, we express outwardly
the design tenets already at our core. We understand that respecting and
responding to the project’s location, site, and production of materials will yield a
unique and appropriate solution. Regardless if a project is LEED®
certified or not,
we manage the design process sustainably and responsibly.

9. FIRM PROFILE /

10. APA offers full service design and design management, construction documentation, bid phase assistance,
cost estimating, and construction administration and will perform services under a traditional design/bid,
negotiated, construction management, or design-build method of project delivery.
Professional services generally include:
PLANNING
Project feasibility, land planning, and master planning, with emphasis on site and building-related
interdependencies. Land development planning assists owners in recognizing project site potentials and in
integrating design within the regional context while interfacing with the local and regional planning agencies.
SITE / BUILDING ANALYSIS
Pre-design exploration and analysis of site and building conditions -- including architectural, structural,
mechanical, electrical, and site/civil -- for new or potential reuse considerations. Studies of this nature do not
always continue into built form but allow for an owner’s critical review and assessment of project feasibility.
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
Design of new buildings and renovations including historic preservation and rehabilitation projects ranging in
size from small renovations to multi-million dollar projects.
INTERIOR DESIGN / SPACE PLANNING
Programming, space planning, budget and cost estimating, and selection and specification of interior finishes
and furniture.
SUSTAINABILITY
LEED®
accredited professional team experienced in sustainable design, product selection and LEED®
certification levels. Addressing economic and environmental efficiency, our team works closely with our clients
to develop the most sustainable building options within project parameters.
SPECIFIC FUNCTION STUDIES
Studies relating to subjects such as life safety (PAUCC), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), LEED®
feasibility,
historic requirements and preservation maintenance, and zoning/land development requirements.
TECHNOLOGY
Design and contract drawings are prepared utilizing AutoCAD or Revit Building Information Modeling (BIM).
A project’s building envelope energy analysis is performed using the U.S. Department of Energy COMcheck
software. Specifications are developed utilizing the AIA MasterSpec in Microsoft Word.

12. TEAM STRUCTURE
APArchitects maintains longstanding working relationships with a number of professional
consultants. We seek the most appropriate team for the project at hand by utilizing
specialized expertise, as required. To that end, each consultant is selected based upon their
ability to address the specific requirements of each project.
The structure of our typical architectural project team includes the Principal Architect/Project
Manager, Architectural Designer, and appropriate design support personnel, who collaborate
with our consultants’ in-house teams. As the project manager, APA assumes responsibility for
full project administration and overall coordination with the design team as well as client
representation throughout the design and construction processes.

15. PROJECT
APPROACH /
/ 15

16. All design projects must start somewhere --
usually with an idea or with a list of the client’s needs
and maybe drawings of an existing building, or historical
photographs, for example. Even so, APArchitects takes
seriously our responsibility to investigate and understand
an owner’s desire for a quality end product. We simply
will not produce something that we are not proud of
ourselves and that does not align with values shared by
our clients and design team.
Accordingly, we apply responsible, contemporary design
principles -- sustainability, stewardship, ecology, economy,
context, and culture -- throughout the traditional design
phases of a project.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

19. / 19
TECHNOLOGY IN DESIGN
From early on in our design training, architects understand that a building
is connected to its place and affects that place’s resources, economics, and
culture. We also take responsibility for meeting human and ecological
needs. With these basic tenets in mind, APArchitects makes use of
appropriate technology in every aspect of a project to achieve the best,
most effective design solutions.
Part of our technological approach to projects entails sustainable design
responses. Because we are professional stewards of our environment,
our process involves assuring balanced utilization and conservation of
resources. In conjunction with our expert consultants, our team works
toward an integrated design approach that enhances a building’s
efficiency. Starting with building orientation and solar and wind analyses
in the preliminary design phases and advancing to building envelope
evaluation, APA takes a collaborative approach to “whole building”
design.
In addition to coordination with mechanical, plumbing, and electrical
systems, we confront the challenge of high performance building in
the technologies that are employed in every design. This may be
demonstrated in the selection of benign materials with lower embodied
energy or in the building envelope itself. Along with meeting minimum
code requirements, APA assesses the value versus payback of a
project. Not only should the final design be aesthetically-pleasing, more
importantly it must also realize the client’s investment through minimizing
energy consumption and maximizing efficiency.
Whether or not a client wishes to pursue LEED®
certification, at APA we
take accountability for promoting sustainable practices. We may suggest
options for increasing a building’s efficiency beyond a client’s original
expectations, all in the name of environmental consciousness, building
performance longevity, and long-term operational cost benefit.
APArchitects views technology as a tool to supplement the essential
task of providing building solutions to its clients. This provides added
value in the design and construction processes. We have established
Building Information Modeling (BIM) as our standard platform offered
to our clients in support of design, design documentation, and A/E
coordination. For three main reasons we offer BIM as an essential tool
in an integrated, problem-solving process:
1. More comprehensive upfront documentation allows the
opportunity during the formative phases to more thoroughly
investigate, evaluate, and analyze complex design issues.
2. Reduction of time in the traditional construction documentation
phase of the project, and better quality control over
construction phase discrepancies that ultimately help maintain
project budgetary objectives.
3. Production of an interactive virtual model and digital record
of the project that is inherent to the process and an ongoing
asset to the building owner beyond construction completion.
Our process also involves consistently-updating technological means
of communication, as applicable. For instance, in addition to standard
conference calls, our office takes advantage of opportunities afforded
through web-based meetings. For quicker turnaround during the
construction administration phase of a project, we have transitioned to
a web-based format for all submittals and for construction document
deliveries. And a majority of our office’s filing structure is digital. By
making the most of more efficient techniques, we are able to perform
more thoroughly for a client’s investment.

Park Forest Community Swimming Pool
New Construction
State College, PA
2009
The project involved the complete demolition of the existing swimming
pool complex and redevelopment of the existing site to accommodate
a new L-shaped six-lane swimming pool, tot pool, and other aquatic
recreational amenities with an approximate 320–person bathing capacity,
and 500-person facility capacity.
The facility was designed as a neighborhood pool with the scale and
aesthetic of the bathhouse relating to the period of development of the
surrounding early-planned residential community. A strong horizontal
emphasis, hip roof, and natural wood siding was utilized to “anchor” the
bathhouse to the surrounding wooded environment with the modest guard
tower providing limited vertical expression and center of the scheme.
In its initial season, the facility yielded an over 200% increase in sales
considering weather conditions that were less than desired normally for
summer months.

Restoration and Renovation
State College, PA
1997- Current
The facility master plan and long range design parameters for the
regional nature center were developed in conjunction with the Clearwater
Conservancy, PSU Cooperative Wetlands Center and the citizens’ advisory
group. The planning concept, utilizing a spine-type organizational
structure, connects various nodes of activities throughout the site via a
pedestrian path, emphasizing both the educational and aesthetic qualities
of the environment. The former farm property sustains a majority of the
enhanced development, with the existing barn serving as a focal point
for progammatic activity, thus preserving the more fragile lands of the
marsh for more selective and controlled use to be accessed by a carefully
planned series of boardwalks.
In April 2016, Millbrook Marsh Nature Center was awarded the “2016
Green Park Award” from the PA Department of Conservation & Natural
Resources and the PA Recreation & Park Society.

William L. Welch Community Swimming Pool
New Construction
State College, PA
2011
The Welch pool project involved complete demolition of the existing
swimming pool complex and redevelopment of the 5.06 acre site to
accommodate a new municipal aquatics facility with an eight-lane
25-meter competition pool, leisure pool with water slides, current channel,
integral tot pool, and other aquatic recreational amenities. A new 2,500
square foot bathhouse and 2,500 square foot filter/support building is a
reinterpreted modern design expression that pays tribute to the original
late-1950s facility.
The exterior expression utilizes natural wood siding in a rain screen
application and open perforated metal panels at upper band-course
levels to provide openness, ventilation, and light while maintaining
privacy and security. A focal point of the design is a natural green
screen curved pergola within the entry plaza, which enhances the sense
of entry and threshold to the facility while reinforcing integration of the
new design with the existing context.

The Spring Creek Education Building was designed to provide
opportunities for environmental research and education related to the
Millbrook Marsh wetland, as well as to be a much needed resource for
community groups to utilize for after-hours programming. The Education
Building features open, multipurpose space and support areas used
for interpretive displays, educational programs, committee meetings,
receptions and other activities.
The project was designed with sustainability and education as a core focus
and was awarded USGBC LEED NC v2.2 Silver Certification.

Responding to the challenge of an extensive parks network and
subsequent maintenance facilities, APArchitects assisted Centre Region
Parks and Recreation with a programming/feasibility study and master
plan to consolidate some of these needs to a central site. Operationally,
the intent is for this facility to act as a hub and support the needs of all
the parks by providing a central location for administrative, maintenance,
staging, and storage needs. During the programming and feasibility
stage, APA evaluated the condition of the satellite facilities, prepared a
master list of equipment, assisted CRPR in forecasting their future space
needs, and evaluated three potential sites for the master plan. With the
information gathered and a site selected, APA then developed a facility
master plan as part of a larger regional park development.
