            Design Statement: This project fulfilled a longstanding
            need for dedicated emergency services personnel training
            in Chester County. The program included the adaptive
            reuse of an existing building to provide the needed facility,
            including training rooms that could accommodate 30, 40,
            50 and 80 people each.


            Bernardon’s design solution included training rooms
            with capacities of 30, 40, and 50, which were successfully
            integrated into the structural bays of the existing   A main design feature is the use of a salvaged steel beam
            building.  A movable partition was then designed between   from the tragic events on September 11, 2001 in New York
            two  adjacent  training  rooms  to  allow  for  the  requested   at the World Trade Center. The steel is presented directly
            80-person training room. The design team also worked   to the visitor entering the building. The position allows for
            closely with the client to integrate the desired audio-visual   the experience of circulating around and contemplating all
            and voice-data features.                             aspects of the steel.
