This interior renovation of the Falvey Hall Library Reading Room and Holy Grounds Café was accomplished on an extremely tight schedule during the University’s summer break. Careful coordination and scheduling was required to meet the timeline. Additionally, the project required the removal, protection, and re-hanging of an old and valuable art masterpiece weighing approx. 1,400 pounds once crated. The piece is an historic and important focal point of the Reading Room, and AdamsBickel was honored to be involved with its handling and care.

The Pennington School – Humanities Building
This new construction building of 19,652 sq. ft. stands three stories tall within the school’s main campus. It is a steel and masonry structure boasting a design that provides a bright and modern learning environment for students and faculty.
Construction of this project was accomplished within a 15-month schedule in the center of a busy K-12 education campus.
The building is LEED Gold certified.
The Pennington School, Old Main/Meckler Library/Stainton Hall
This project was a multi-phase renovation that included work in the school’s oldest, most historic building that dates back to the 1800s – Old Main. The level of careful coordination and attention to detail was fitting for the AdamsBickel team who executed according to plan and with high quality workmanship. The buildings and spaces were meticulously renovated with high-end, carefully curated finishes.
Ultimately, the work successfully yielded a more functional and modern environment while preserving the historic character and “feel” of the buildings.
Academy of Notre Dame de Namur, The Riley Center for STEM Education
The building incorporates eight science laboratories, three lab prep rooms, eight mathematic classrooms, a Design, Thinking, Entrepreneurship classroom, and several specialty labs dedicated to design and innovation, robotics, and coding. The project also included an extensive renovation and restoration of the school’s coveted Rose Garden, and significant landscaping of the surrounding areas.
The project is LEED Silver Certified and was successfully completed on-time, despite an aggressive schedule and tight campus.
The Haverford School Middle School
This LEED Gold Certified project began with the demolition of the former Middle School. This was executed while simultaneously maintaining the existing and attached cafeteria, which had to function for the school year and summer camp sessions.
Additionally, extensive enabling and site work was necessary prior to the construction of the new building. The new building is centrally located on campus within a tight, confined area that allowed for little to no laydown space.
