K-12 Education
Recognizing that schools are investments in our collective future, K&W offers innovative site designs for new construction and renovation of K-12 facilities. We work closely with architects and school officials to develop solutions that are functional, creative, and cost effective. Having worked on over 70 projects for more than 40 school districts in the past 10 years, our firm understands the needs of school campuses and the communities that support them.
We support the learning environment by incorporating the following in all of our school designs:
- Safe and effective site design
- Communication with school boards and the public
- Familiarity with public bidding and construction processes
- Knowledge of PA Department of Education requirements
- Sustainability and environmental stewardship
It was a pleasure working with K&W on the Siebert Park/Stadium Project in collaboration with the Borough of Camp Hill. K&W staff are quality professionals dedicated to providing top notch service to clients and we experienced that service during this project.

Higher Education
Higher education campuses must be safe and accessible, pedestrian-friendly and aesthetically-pleasing. K&W specializes in designs that optimize available space in order to seamlessly integrate new construction with existing facilities while keeping a keen eye on overall campus aesthetics. We are able to develop phased design and construction documents based on funding requirements, incorporate site features to help achieve sustainability goals, and increase the marketability of your campus to existing and future students.
K&W assisted HACC in creating a state-of-the-art, premier training facility for first responders in this region and beyond, while incorporating environmentally sensitive areas into the College’s master plan.

Commercial
The keys to successful projects are identified well before we ever put pen to paper. We thoroughly research every opportunity to submit a proposal through conversations with regulatory agencies, municipal ordinance research, and site visits. As a result, clients get a comprehensive list of required services, expected deliverables, a description of potential challenges and a detailed engineering fees budget. In other words…no surprises.
We also recognize that, while good design is inherently important, maintaining the project schedule can be the difference between success and failure of our client’s business goals. Clients will always get a truthful assessment of the project time frames, constant engagement of K&W staff with regulatory agencies, and creative solutions to provide the best opportunities for meeting a project schedule.
We work in a fast-paced environment, where value is placed not just on speed to the completion of any task, but on getting it all right the first time. K&W has done an excellent job managing both of those demands.
Winning in business today is making sure you’ve got the right people on your team – if you want to win, get K&W on yours!

Government
Historically, half of our work is on projects owned or built by public sector clients. With more stringent procurement guidelines and requirements, we are extremely sensitive to our role in the stewardship of public assets and taxpayer resources. We work with all levels and types of governmental entities – municipal, authorities, boards, commissions, the Commonwealth of PA and US Federal agencies. Whether planning for a new community building, a recreational park complex or helping the Commonwealth use its land or dollars to stimulate economic development, we use our land development and site design expertise wisely.
It is my fervent hope that we may continue to work with K&W in the future as our community’s needs continually change and their familiarity with our town is an invaluable asset.
With over 30,000 first responders utilizing the expanded and revitalized facilities annually, K&W took into consideration the unique training environment needed for such an important facility.

Athletic Facilities
K&W offers innovative strategies and solutions for the construction and renovation of athletic facilities that are designed to inspire athletic performance. We understand the complexities that surround athletic facility projects and the importance of adhering to strict design and construction schedules. Our expert staff guides clients through high school and collegiate level sports facility federation standards, as well as provide recommendations for the best type of playing surface, vendor utilization, and other specialized athletic facility needs.
We specialize in stadiums, multi-purpose fields, track and field, tennis facilities and the planning, design and assessment of synthetic and natural turf fields.
You were like one of the team collaborating and steering us to the most appropriate solutions to our design issues. The result was a Camp Hill Stadium that is one of the most unique in Central PA—not the typical cookie cutout facility.
The completed facility is a beautiful and inspiring venue which will benefit our student athletes and the Camp Hill community in general for many future generations.

Health & Wellness
People coming to a healthcare facility can be experiencing a variety of circumstances – happiness, sickness, relief or worry. Sensitivity to site design and aesthetics is important to create a good first impression and lasting feeling of quality care. We plan for both pedestrian and vehicular users to share the space safety and efficiently. Incorporating the natural environment to inspire health and wellness has been shown to have significant benefits to every occupant of the healthcare facility so we encourage it. Putting ourselves in the role of patient, caregiver and visitor allows us to empathically understand the needs of our client’s customers and their experience on our sites.

Residential
Thriving communities have a variety of residential types available to accommodate all ages and needs. We design environments for living. We incorporate features into the design of a residential campus or community to create an environment that demonstrates value and builds your community’s marketing potential. Age-specific design considerations (wider access paths, easy-to read directional signs, gentle slopes), social design aspects (common areas, shaded outdoor living spaces, raised planting beds, recreation and sport areas), and appealing aesthetics are critical components that potential residents and their families consider when choosing a home and a community.
Your firm has done an excellent job working with Charter Homes & Neighborhoods on various projects. What we’ve enjoyed about partnering with K&W the most is the responsiveness given to our needs as a large regional homebuilder.
