National Museum of the American Indian – Facilities Master Plan

OVERVIEW
The Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) is part of the extensive complex of museums and research complexes that make up the 19-facility system. The museum is beginning its first master plan since the opening of the Maryland and Washington, DC facilities in 1999 and 2004, respectively. Langan provided site/civil and geotechnical engineering services for this project under Studio Gang, the master planner. Our team assisted in rewriting the strategic plan for NMAI in order to optimize the current physical space of the two locations, as well as the operating needs of the facilities. After identifying areas of concern within the project sites, Langan worked with the project team to engineer solutions to problems such ponding water, erosion of a wetland, and flooding.

Riverwalk Towers

OVERVIEW
Located along the Schuykill River, the Riverwalk Towers are two separate mixed-use that will include residential and retail space, along with a landscaped plaza and on-site parking. The 3.5-acre site had several constraints that needed to be considered with the design, including its location in the 100-year floodplain area of the FEMA map, active CSX rail lines along the western boundary, an overhead Septa bridge crossing through the parcel, and a PWD easement for an existing brick overflow sewer. Langan provided multiple services including survey, site/civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, traffic and transportation engineering, and permitting for the redevelopment.

The Asbury

OVERVIEW
For the first time in 50 years Asbury Park has opened a new hotel, The Asbury.

Langan provided environmental services, which included due diligence and site remediation activities performed by an LSRP and the removal of an underground storage tank. In 2017, The Asbury was named the most beautiful hotel in New Jersey by Architectural Digest magazine.

OVERVIEW
As Oxford’s Towne Center, Quarry Walk includes a grocery store, pharmacy, bank, mixed retail, variety of restaurants, community green, post office, 1.5 miles of walking trails, and 150 residential units. The new 32-acre development was previously a functioning rock quarry prior to construction.
