JENKINS LAW LIBRARY
1801 MARKET STREET, PHILADELPHIA

Established in 1802, Jenkins is the oldest law library in the USA. It was located in Independence Hall until 1819. It has had several locations since. But it was The Sullivan Company’s privilege to construct their most recent home at 1801 Market Street, Philadelphia.

The library fills an entire floor, approximately 22,000 square feet. Despite its stied and conservative history, the design for the new location incorporated modern elements such as LED lighting, exposed decks, custom light fixtures and millwork. Of course, the move included reinstallation of the “Founders Portrait Wall” as well as the historical “Board Room” clock.

PARK SCIENCE BUILDING
BRYN MAWR COLLEGE

The Park Science Building is a 3-story structure with multiple wings. It is the 50-year-old nexus of the critical science program at Bryn Mawr College and was in dire need of renovation and upgrades.

In conjunction with the college’s facility and staff The Sullivan Company executed a multi-phase, 2 1/2-year construction project that resulted in renovations to over 40,000 square feet of the building. Classes and Lab work continued in the occupied building while the work took place.

The result of this $15 million project was mechanical, structural, plumbing, electrical, and physical upgrades to the multiple Physics, Chemistry, Geology, and Biology Laboratories. Lecture Halls, classrooms, and amenity spaces were also renovated.

Additionally, base building upgrades were also completed. This included (5) new gas fired boilers with heating water risers and returns.

Windows and flashings in many areas were also replaced.

GOODHART HALL
BRYN MAWR COLLEGE

Goodhart Hall was constructed in 1928 and is the center of Bryn Mawr College’s performing arts program with distinguished alumnae such as Katharine Hepburn.

The building is constructed of reinforced concrete and built to replicate European cathedrals with high spires and flying buttresses. But the edifice was sadly lacking in meeting current life safety standards, plumbing, and handicapped codes.

The Sullivan Company undertook a 13-month project to provide new sprinkler, electrical, fire alarm, and HVAC systems to the original building. The stage was rebuilt, and the seating was removed, refurbished, and reinstalled.

At the same time, this $13 million project resulted in the construction of a 4-story, attached “Atrium Building”. This structure houses a 4-story elevator that brought the building in ADA compliance. The “Atrium Building” also added a teaching theater, dance room, and multiple offices/ancillary spaces.

THOMAS HALL/THE OLD LIBRARY
BRYN MAWR COLLEGE

Thomas Hall/The Old Library is one of the earliest and most historic buildings on Bryn Mawr College’s campus. First the Great Hall, built in 1909 as a 3-story structure with a hall replicating the medieval halls of the Kings. It is the oldest building on the campus and the only building on the National Historic Registry. At the time of construction, it was large enough to house the entire student body. It has so much character that it was the setting for a scene in one of the “Harry Potter” movies. In the 1930’s a 2-story wing was connected to either end of the Great Hall with massive turrets at the connection points. This created a “C” shaped building. Finally, the Old Library was built to connect the 2-story wings and create an interior courtyard.

The buildings are magnificent but due to their ages, significant exterior repairs were needed. The Sullivan Company embarked on a 3-year project to accomplish these repairs.

In the first year, masonry repairs and roof replacements were undertaken. In order to get lulls and other equipment into the courtyard it was necessary to “fly” them over the 2-story wings with a large truck crane. Courtyard and exterior masonry schist and limestone repairs were achieved.

Additionally, in the first year, the various types of roofs were replaced. These ranged from slate shingles to liquid applied, to modified bituminous.

In the second-year window repairs/replacement for all but the Great Hall was undertaken. The “exterior elevation” windows are large metal units. These windows were removed and sent to a local shop where they were refurbished and then re-installed into the metal frames that were refurbished on site. The wood windows in the Courtyard were removed and replaced with new to replicate the “diamond” pattern glass and mullions of the original. The wood frames were also refurbished in place.

The third year’s work was the most challenging. The Great Hall’s massive windows were replaced. Two very competent shops were chosen to split the task. This ensured that the work could be done in one season. Interior rolling scaffold was erected for access while stationary scaffolding was used on the exterior. All windows were removed, replaced, and caulked within the construction schedule.

This construction was the winner of the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia’s Grand Jury Award.

MMWR

When one the most prestigious Philadelphia law firms, Montgomery, McCracken, Walker and Rhoads decided to move their headquarters from the long-time location on South Broad Street, they chose the “A-Building”, the Mellon Bank Building. The challenge for The Sullivan Company was to maintain 90% of the office walls and layout while incorporating modern technology and amenities for the 3 ½ floors of the building.

Florescent lighting was replaced with updated dimmable LED fixtures. Old cabling was replaced with CAT5E wire for highspeed internet as well as a voice over cable phone system. A state-of-the-art noise cancelling system was installed to eliminate sound between rooms and from Corridors.

Common areas were reconstructed and fitted with new finishes such as custom millwork, internally lit ViviStone glass panels, and modern lighting. The IT room was constructed with an FM200 and pre-action sprinkler system. Fully redundant climate control as well as UPS with backup generator was also installed for the critical IT room.

Of course, space was made for MMWR’s famous Law Library.

RUBENSTEIN PARTNERS
2929 ARCH STREET, PHILADELPHIA

When Rubestein Partners contemplated moving into the top two floors of the Cira One Building, they contracted with The Sullivan Company for construction management.

The project included high-end finishes such as wood floors, marble floors, burnished steel walls and felt panels. Unique custom millwork was an integral part of the design. Additionally, custom light fixtures were utilized throughout. Dual glazed window and door systems were incorporated in the Conference and Huddle rooms.

The challenge was to complete this work while not disrupting the firm in its current location on the floors immediately below. Challenge met! Rubenstein’s offices were constructed using a combination of 1st and 2nd shifts. This not only avoided noise during normal working hours but also enabled us to finish well before our original schedule.

PMHCC
1601 MARKET STREET, PHILADELPHIA

The Sullivan Company completed the construction for the tenant occupancy of PMHCC into 70,000 square feet of space on three full floors of 1601 Market Street. The work included design/build construction of all HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, and electric. New finishes, including a folding partition system and high-level millwork were installed. Multiple IT rooms with UPS backup were also completed.

Community Behavioral Health
801 Market Street, Philadelphia

CBH had already occupied one floor, approximately 20,000 square feet, when they needed to expand to 50,000 square feet of space.

The existing space was completely renovated in phases while the client occupied the floor. Moreover, a complete revamp of the inadequate HVAC system was accomplished.

On the 30,000 square feet of new space The Sullivan Company undertook a complete renovation including a large conference center with acoustical folding partitions and glass front offices.

Additionally, an exterior roof was converted to a usable outside deck for client functions.

DIGITAS HEALTH
THE WANAMAKER BUILDING

The Sullivan Company was privileged to construct the new offices of Digitas Health in the historic Wanamaker Building. The project consisted of 55,000 square feet on two floors.

Concrete decks, ductwork, and piping were exposed to highlight the space. The existing historic staircase was re-established and renovated to serve as a communicating stair between the two floors.

The work also included LED lighting, specialty fixtures and ornate wood sliding doors that were custom crafted for the Conference room.

THE TRIAD BUILDING
2200 RENAISSANCE BOULEVARD

When the new owner of the Triad Building realized the base building elements needed a face lift, he turned to The Sullivan Company.

The building is a 4-story structure consisting of 3 wings tied together with a full height atrium. This atrium was the centerpiece of the new look. Dated finishes were removed and replaced with a geometric designed terrazzo floor. New steel railings were installed on the upper floors. Additionally, a glass enclosed elevator was constructed.

At the two main entrances, new steel/glass canopies were added. Pairs of automatic, sliding glass doors were incorporated at each entrance to provide a vestibule.

JOHN FOX TOWERS
22 SOUTH 22ND STREET

John Fox Tower is a 17-story, concrete structure with a brick veneer. The building includes 273 apartment units plus amenities such as a community room, library, and computer room. There are also 3-stories of parking below grade.

The Sullivan Company was retained to renovate their building while 99% occupied.

The project included power washing, caulking and regrouting the brick façade. All windows were replaced. And structural concrete deck repairs were undertaken in the parking garage.

All apartments were fitted with new fixtures including tubs; tub surrounds and water closets. New Kitchen cabinets, sinks and faucets were installed. Fresh paint and new flooring were completed. HVAC units were replaced.

During construction there were also 14 units completely rebuilt to afford an ADA accessible apartment on each floor.

RTO+P
2400 MARKET STREET

RTO+P is a marketing/advertising firm that contracted The Sullivan Company to build-out their new 10,000 square foot facility on the ground level of 2400 Market Street.

Due to the nature of the client there were several unique and “fun” features included in the build-out.

A 10-foot-high metal and glass revolving door with an arched top gives way to each Conference room. A 30-foot plus curved bar with quartz countertop and brass foot rails houses all the necessary equipment including two, dual-top kegerators. Columns are cladded in wood battens. An interior planter greets visitors at the main entrance.

Other finishes include specialty lighting, exposed concrete decks, wood floors, and polished concrete floors.
