R.L. Reppert’s Work on St. Luke’s Hospital Pediatric Specialties
St. Luke’s Pediatric Specialties at the Lanark campus in Center Valley, Pennsylvania, is a 37,500-square-foot newly constructed building operated by St. Luke’s University Health Network. This medical office site consists of three floors equaling 12,500 square feet each. Following R.L. Reppert’s construction of the shell of this building, crews proceeded to the interior fit-out that consisted of various patient and staff rooms, including a pediatric rehab suite, pediatric primary care suite and pediatric specialty center. The interior design of this location is the first of its kind for St. Luke’s and is intended to provide an aesthetically cheerful interactive environment for children, with each floor having a central theme featuring sea-, earth- and space-related visuals.
The subcontractor’s scope of work, after the completion of the exterior metal stud framing and sheathing to complete the shell, included the interior metal stud framing, batt insulation, drywall hanging and finishing, acoustical ceiling grid and tile, along with many more architectural specialty design items. Every aspect of this project was interesting and challenging in its design complexity since it incorporates many curves and suspended structures. Within each floor, R.L. Reppert’s team installed specialty items by utilizing Armstrong Axiom clouds, Armstrong infusion shapes, 3Form Solitude Shapes, 3Form Varia Interlayers suspended and stationary privacy panels, 3Form Varia on the elevator columns and Custom Casting GRG column covers. Each one of these specialty items required high-level layout skills and extensive planning to ensure the design came together flawlessly and worked with the overall design of the facility.
