Forks Township DPW Building - Rd 2

Last night, the last two architectural firms presented their ideas about the design of our DPW building.

According to the George J Donovan AIA web site:  "The Award-winning firm was established in 1976.  With over 32 years in practice, we are a multi-disciplined architectural firm located in Bedminster serving the Bucks County area, and in the City of Bethlehem serving the Greater Lehigh Valley. We specialize in both new construction and renovation projects, including historic renovation, restoration, and adaptive reuse of structures"

They are LEED accredited by the U.S. Green Building Council and maintain a a strong desire to create sustainable buildings and communities.  The following is a sampling of completed projects:

  • South Converty Township
  • Buckingham Township
  • Newtown Township
  • Doylestown Township

They also provided a schedule for completion of our Public Works Building. The project could start on September 4, 2009 and be completed by April 30, 2011.

Godshall Kane Architects is based in Amber Pa.  According to their website: "The Principals, Kevin Godshall, AIA & Damon Royal Kane, AIA, have each dedicated their professional careers to pursuing their individual areas of interest. Kevin Godshall represents the creative, design oriented side of the profession. Over the last decade he has focused on creating the most appropriate and responsive designs for his clients. Damon Royal Kane represents the more technical side of the equation. His focus for the last 25 years has been to build an extensive knowledge of building systems and components. By combining these two perspectives with our technical staff, Godshall Kane Architects is able to offer a high level of combined experience, delivered in a direct and personalized manner by the two partners".

They are also LEED accredited and believe deeply in "Green designs" for their various projects. It was interesting, Godshall Kane architects have extensive experience in building school buildings.

The following is a sampling of completed projects:

  • Lower Moreland Township
  • New London Township
  • Kulpmont Township
  • Whitpain Township
  • Lower Providence Community Library
