Pocopson Township

Location: Pocopson Township, PA
Description: Re-purposing and rehabilitation of historic ‘Barnard’ House and site; including a new building for township administration

GKO Architects was engaged by Pocopson Township to provide a comprehensive review of their properties and facilities. The study concluded that a new Township Administration building was needed and that it should be built on a tract of land owned by the township, which is a historic 60 acre former farmstead. The design challenge was two-fold. First, placing the new building and parking so that it did not compromise the existing historic integrity of the site. Second, building with modern construction techniques and materials while respecting the historic surrounding structures.

GKO is currently working on Construction Documentation for the new 2-story Township Building. Offices are located on the main floor and meeting room on the lower level.
