Lincoln Centre Life Sciences Research Campus

OVERVIEW
Located on the Peninsula, Lincoln Centre is a 595,000-SF biomedical and life sciences research campus redevelopment. The buildings of the former industrial park were demolished. The development now includes three office/laboratory buildings, three parking structures, and an amenities building. Langan performed a geotechnical investigation and site-specific seismic studies, updated the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, conducted a Limited Environmental Site Characterization, and provided construction observation and analytical testing services.

Dwight-Englewood School

OVERVIEW
Dwight-Englewood School is a diverse, independent school with 900 students ranging from preschool through 12th grade. Through a collaborative process, Langan and the project team took a unique approach to designing the new STEM facility, teaching garden, and additional improvements to campus parking connectivity. Langan helped to overcome land development issues on a challenging property, which included extensive grade changes, shallow rock, and existing infrastructure on an active campus.

Northville Industries – FRP & SPCC Plans for Oil Storage Terminals

OVERVIEW
To assist with a scheduled 5-year-plan renewal, Langan conducted site inspections and prepared amendments to spill contingency plans for Northville Industries’ oil storage terminal facilities on Long Island, New York. The plan amendments included revisions to the text and facility diagrams for Facility Response Plans (FRP) and Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans in order to address changes to secondary containment and piping systems. Our survey team prepared schematic diagrams detailing the complex piping systems at both terminal facilities. Plan amendments were certified by a Langan professional engineer licensed in New York.

Trinity Church Renovation

OVERVIEW
For over 300 years, Trinity Church has been an integral part of New York City history and the Episcopal parish. Since opening in 1697, the original building has undergone several changes and expansions. The church’s recent renovation, however, is its most ambitious to date. The project included interior repairs, wheelchair-accessible ramps around the perimeter, and a canopy on the south side to enhance the worship experience, address overdue maintenance needs, and increase accessibility. Langan performed a 3D laser scan of the church interior and developed grading and drainage design for the ramps in compliance with ADA requirements. We also provided subsurface investigations to evaluate the foundation condition and confirm the depths of grave vaults, including those belonging to historic figures like Alexander Hamilton.

Green Street Dog Park

OVERVIEW
Langan provided landscape architecture, surveying, site/civil, and geotechnical engineering services to develop the design, obtain permits, and oversee the construction of a 12,000-SF dog park in the heart of Philadelphia’s Spring Garden neighborhood. The design converted an empty, asphalt lot into a dog park that features large open areas, a bull pen entry, synthetic dog turf that allows season-round use with no mud, seating areas, and a landscaped perimeter. Langan also assisted the Spring Garden Community Development Corporation in obtaining a $300,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to defray construction and design costs for the park. You can see more or the park’s happy users at #greenstreetdogpark on Instagram.
