»  Churchville Nature Center - This remarkable project consists of a 1.8 million dollar "green" building 4,800 SF expansion which will utilize energy conservation while respecting the natural environment by implementing LEED standards. The new building will be topped by a "living roof" where plants will grow and make use of rainwater. There will also be a rainwater and gray water collection system that will be utilized to water plants on the property. The center will employ geo-thermal technology for heating, and also include waterless urinals, low-energy lighting and solar panels.

» First Savings Bank of Perkasie Administrative Office Building - The official opening ceremony took place on March 28, 2006 with First Savings of Perkasie bank officials, State Representative Paul Clymer and borough representatives in attendance at the ribbon cutting. The 40,000 square foot adaptive reuse project included reclamation of an 81 year old silk mill (which had become an eyesore) and conversion to the bank’s new corporate headquarters. This project was designed using various "Green Building" techniques adhering to the LEED standards of environmental sustainability which will allow for up to 25 percent savings in heating and cooling costs due to the building's overall design, use of natural light, efficient windows and other features. This building demonstrates a community commitment to re-using an abandoned building rather than creating new construction on precious farmland, which is disappearing and needs to be preserved.

Site Prior to Restoration
     

The 81 year old structure once housed a silk mill, followed by a truck body manufacturing company, and then a stainless steel production company.

Restored Building is now First Savings Bank Administration Building
