Montgomery County Archives

planning and programming

Montgomery County, PA | 40,000 SF

Montgomery County’s current archives are located in a disjointed building that does not meet the needs of the program. Through coordination with the county, HSA reviewed the existing operations and helped to develop a design for a pre-engineered building that will meet all archive storage needs currently and in the future.

The new program provides a connected administration and office space, bringing together what is currently disjoionted and disconnected in the existing space. There is also a new front-facing public space, including an updated public viewing area. The exterior references the local vernacular of other county pre-engineered buildings to be constructed. HSA also provided next-level coordination with the county to determine and design the various storage needs.
