The Pavilion – Penn Medicine

OVERVIEW
As part of the project team, known as PennFIRST, Langan is providing a multitude of services including site/civil, geotechnical, and traffic engineering; environmental consulting; permitting; and survey. In an effort to expand their rapidly growing network, Penn Medicine has assembled one of the first integrated project delivery (IPD) teams on the East Coast for the design and development of a new patient pavilion, located in Philadelphia’s University City area. The new clinical facility will include approximately 500 new patient beds, 50 operating and procedure rooms, a relocated and expanded Emergency Department, 700 space substructure parking lot, and expanded healthcare delivery programs within the network.

CHOP Osler Circle Vehicular and Pedestrian Traffic Study

OVERVIEW
Langan provided a detailed transportation assessment to review and analyze vehicular and pedestrian circulation patterns on Osler Circle. The assessment identified issues and constraints, and solicited options for improving circulation without adversely affecting traffic and pedestrian flows. Langan coordinated with the Philadelphia Streets Department, and conducted traffic and pedestrian counts on a high peak patient day during the weekday AM, midday and PM peak activity periods. In addition, our team conducted field observations to document existing traffic and pedestrian safety constraints. We used this information to analyze traffic operating conditions and level-of-service (LOS) analysis for Osler Circle intersections. To improve traffic and pedestrian flow, the transportation assessment also identified strategies for traffic calming, wayfinding and signage, and use of distinctive materials to raise awareness for pedestrian safety.

MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper University Hospital

OVERVIEW
Langan provided integrated services for the 103,000 SF world-class cancer institute and its rooftop healing garden. Located on an extremely tight urban site, the project required extensive conceptual planning, programming, and site planning studies. Our team led permitting efforts, reconfigured vehicular circulation to provide safer access to facilities, and minimized stormwater runoff by reducing the amount of surface parking in favor of a landscaped plaza space. We also designed curved retaining walls to support tree plantings without needing roof penetration, designed the site lighting, and developed site-specific soil beds to minimize rooftop loading for the lush, tranquil healing garden.

MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper – Rooftop Garden

OVERVIEW
Langan provided comprehensive planning, design and construction phase services for a 5,000-SF rooftop healing garden that will serve as a respite from the clinics and testing facilities. Custom designed planting beds will minimize rooftop loading while providing a healthy growing environment for the plants.  A thoughtfully designed drainage system will conduct water to roof drains below the paving and planting areas. The project includes a significant amount of sustainable design elements and features the use and interpretation of plants that have been used in the fight against cancer.

Cooper Medical School of Rowan University

OVERVIEW
Langan provided multiple engineering services for this new, six-story, LEED Gold-certified building that contains 200,000-SF of cutting-edge classroom, laboratory, vivarium program areas, 250-person lecture hall, and reconfigurable multi-purpose rooms that can hold up to 110 students each. Langan’s initial work included environmental due diligence, an asbestos and hazardous materials survey, and demolition design to prepare the site for construction. Additional services that Langan provided included traffic and parking analyses that included the preparation of a detailed traffic impact study which evaluated the local roadway capacities, available public transit options, and pedestrian flow and connectivity; environmental services that included site remediation and vapor intrusion mitigation; geotechnical engineering; site/civil engineering; boundary and topographic survey; infrastructure design; and regulatory permitting services.

Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer & Data Center Plaza

OVERVIEW
Langan was retained to provide engineering, site design, and land development services to convert an existing multi-story office building into a state-of-the-art cancer care center. Landscaped walkways will provide patient access to the surrounding woodlands and will expand recreational opportunities. Lush entry gardens and courtyards will help to create a soothing and therapeutic environment. The project will include sustainable design elements such as restoring the office building minimizing site disturbance, preserving environmentally sensitive areas, adding low-impact design features such as rain gardens and selective use of pervious paving to manage stormwater from newly paved surfaces, installing LED site lighting, and landscaping with native and adapted plants. The overall site design will allow patients to enter the redesigned building at the upper and lower levels while providing improved vehicle and pedestrian circulation patterns. This project is LEED Gold certified.

UPMC South Tower Deconstruction

OVERVIEW
UPMC is selectively deconstructing part of the existing South Tower, Old Children's Hospital, on their downtown Pittsburgh campus. Langan designed and permitted the site and site logistics of the deconstruction. Safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular access, as well as parking demand and re-assignment have been planned. Langan performed an environmental site assessment to identify environmental issues, and has implemented a groundwater monitoring program that will evaluate seasonal groundwater fluctuations. The results of the program will be used in the dewatering analysis.

St. Luke’s University Milford Hospital

OVERVIEW
Langan prepared a preliminary feasibility study to evaluate the possibility of developing a healthcare complex on one of three separate sites. We identified significant development constraints, prepared base maps and concept plans and provided a comparison table that describes the pros and cons for each development site. Once the site was selected, Langan performed a preliminary due diligence investigation. The scope of work included an updated Phase I ESA Report, a preliminary Natural Resources Assessment, which included PADEP Coordination to identify possible permitting hurdles, a Cultural Resources Assessment along with Threatened and Endangered Species Coordination and a Wetland Limits Verification and Permitting Confirmation. Our work encompassed a review of the previous Traffic Impact Study, updated trip generation estimates for the planned project and a meeting with PennDOT to review proposed improvements associated with the site.

Lehigh Valley Health Network

OVERVIEW
Penn Regional Business Center initiated the potential development of this former residential property as a data center located in the commercial corridor of State Route 447. Lehigh Valley Health Network (formerly Pocono Medical Center) came on board to redirect the development into a medical office building (MOB). Langan handled the overall permitting and re-permitting of the project from the original data center approvals to the now constructed MOB. In particular, this site was burdened by an ordinance that prohibited increases in stormwater runoff from redevelopment of the site to the natural downstream receiving water body (Flory’s Pond) due to flooding conditions at that location. This rendered the original property commercially undevelopable. Langan provided a unique solution requiring significant permitting to overcome the issue by redirecting the stormwater to a different watershed over a half a mile from the site.
