• Crossway tops out

    In recent weeks, CH&E Construction completed the steel erection for Crossway Church in Millersville, Pennsylvania. On January 5th, members of the design team from TONO Architects, along with several Pastors from the church, witnessed the setting of the 14 ton, 110 foot long, central girder truss spanning the 10,000 square foot multi-purpose room. With the steel frame completed and the main floor level concrete slab in place, Lancaster County Timber Frames will soon begin placing the glue-laminated wood portions of the main roof assembly. With spans over 100′, the custom-designed hybrid steel and timber truss elements are unlike any in the region.

  • Armstrong Manor converted

    Retained just prior to the holidays by Rodgers & Associates of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, TONO recently began planning the conversion of the former Armstrong Manor in Manheim Township into the new offices for a growing area wealth management and retirement planning firm. This historic seven acre property, once used for executive training and retreats by Armstrong World Industries, was recently acquired by the financial agency for private use. Intended to maintain it’s original elegance and grand interiors, the new owners enlisted TONO Architects to reconfigure and update various areas throughout its interior. Led by Keith Falco and Dan Garner, the design team is working closely with High Construction on the delicate process of converting and upgrading this landmark facility.

  • TONO takes Gettyburg

    Foreseeing an opportunity to create affordable, stylish modern and convenient new housing for students of Gettysburg College, a local Adams County development group commissioned TONO Architects in late 2011 to design a new model for sustainable housing in downtown Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. While remaining sympathetic to the scale, proportion and material language of its surrounding context, the new 51,000 square foot, four-story facility promotes a decidedly contemporary architectural approach.

    Seeking to employ various high performance green building methods, Douglas Phillips and Hunter Johnson collaborate at TONO to bring greater long-term investment return to the development and ownership team. Presently in the early design stages with Robert Sharrah Associates, land planners and civil engineers, the facility is slated for occupancy by fall term of 2013.
