Founded in 1976, as part of Penn State University, The Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center is a resource for the university and the community at large, providing a variety of unique teaching and learning opportunities for students and educators. The facility includes an Environmental Center, an Outdoor School, and Team Development Center. There is also a Raptor Aviary on the site, which is home to a variety of hawks, owls, eagles, vultures, and falcons. The 7,000-acre propert...y includes a 72-acre lake and is located only 12 miles from Penn State’s University Park campus. Over the past 4 years, the center has undergone a complete overhaul through a transformational project which includes several new buildings, additions, and renovations. A new 10,000 square foot main building and approximately 4,000gsf of additions including updated finishes, office reconfiguration, and demolition of an existing kitchen and mechanical systems. The main building includes new classrooms, conference rooms, work areas, restrooms storage and mechanical systems. A Classroom Pavilion was constructed to the western side of the site which will help to define a new gateway to the complex. Upgrades and the expansion of the raptor center was completed in a second phase. Site improvements include ADA entry to the Main Building, outdoor teaching spaces, a reconfigured service yard and an on-site sewer treatment facility. The building will be LEED certified. The design of the center features custom-designed heavy timber elements. In some portions of the project, on-site timber was harvested and utilized in the construction as well. Reuther+Bowen was the structural engineer for the project as part of the design team led architect Kimmel+Bogrette.

Last Thursday afternoon, representatives of Reuther+Bowen were proud to be in attendance for the latest athletic ribbon cutting event on the Big Ten campus of Rutgers University in Piscataway, NJ. The event started in the adjacent Rutgers Athletic Center (RAC) and migrated over to the adjacent Rutgers | RWJ Barnabas Athletic Performance Center. Recently opened to the student-athletes of Rutgers University, the new Athletic Performance Center houses practice and training facil...ities for the Gymnastics, Wrestling, and Men’s and Women’s Basketball programs. The ribbon cutting followed an all access open-house of the new facility. Reuther+Bowen provided structural engineering for the new multi-use building on the campus of Rutgers University in Piscataway, NJ. The new facility is comprised of a 208,000 gsf, 5-story concrete parking structure for 554 cars combined with a 145,000 gsf athletic center / practice facility for the men’s and women’s basketball programs. The building also will accommodates the wrestling and gymnastics programs with state-of-the-art locker rooms, strength and conditioning and sports medicine suites, coaches’ offices and meeting rooms. The new facility will also house administrative offices for the Athletic Departments as well as provide RWJ Barnabas with therapeutic suites and spaces to treat student-athletes and further develop the sports medicine program at the University. The five-story parking structure with a direct connection from parking to the existing Rutgers Athletic Center (RAC) will provide parking for RAC events, the adjacent Business School, and potential future projects such as a hotel and conference center. The total project has an estimated construction cost of $98.5 million.
