Project Spotlight: Second and State Office Building, Harrisburg, PA

Client: Second and State Street Partners, LLC.
Construction Manager: Warfel Construction Co., East Petersburg, PA
Architect: Bernardon Haber Holloway, Kennett Square, PA
Structural Engineer: Baker Ingram and Associates, Lancaster, PA
Civil Engineer / Landscape Architect: Kurowski and Wilson, Harrisburg, PA

AEI has recently completed the design of this 5 story, 54,000 square foot office building to be located just blocks from the State Capitol in Harrisburg, PA. The AEI Design Team is led by Drew McFadden and Chris DeRosa.

The project consists of retail spaces located on street level and four floors of prime office space to be anchored by a prominent law firm in the Harrisburg area. The building is pursuing a LEED CS Version 3.0 Gold Rating and has all office space tenants will be pursing LEED ID+C Version 3.0 certifcation.

Sustainable features of the building include a hybrid vertical closed loop geothermal heating and cooling system, LED exterior lighting, mercury-free and energy efficient interior lighting, industry leading low-flow plumbing fixtures and a fully integrated building automation system which integrates HVAC controls, lighting controls, building intrusion and alarm system and a UL listed digital addressable fire alarm system. Due to the urban location and lack of availible land area to install a vertical closed loop geothermal wellfield, all wells will be located under the foundation slab and will also include energy caissons on all structural caissons under the building. Finally, to balance the wellfield over the lifetime of the building, an indoor fluid cooler was incorporated into the design of the geothermal system.
