Thesis Abstract
Executive Summary
Spring Run Assisted Living is the newest building on Willow Valley Retirement
Community’s property. It is an 116,200 square foot, $11.8 million
design-build project.
The community is located approximately 5 miles south of the heart of Lancaster
on Route
222. Although some residents are not independent, the ones who have the
ability can
travel to the borough on their own because of the close proximity.
A two toned brick façade with a mansard / false gabled shingle roof
was used on this
building to complement the existing buildings in Willow Valley Retirement
Community.
There are three wings making Spring Run Assisted Living a Y shaped building
and each
wing is anchored on the building end with a hipped roof tower. False windows
are used
to minimize the look of the blank exterior walls.
