K&W Engineering has hired Lehigh Valley based Landscape Architect Marc Singley, RLA in an effort to increase their focus on performance-related athletic design projects.

Singley joins K&W with over 18 years of professional experience including the design and development of many diverse projects in the athletic, educational, commercial, healthcare, and residential development fields.

Singley’s background has enabled him to specialize in the athletic use of synthetic turf for K-12 and higher education on over 40 projects where his design recognizes the importance of end user safety and cost effective strategies for clients.  He is particularly sensitive to the environmental impact of development and site construction on the surrounding area through sound and responsible design.

Singley’s expertise in graphic perspective sketches and plan renderings have been instrumental in the municipal approval process and fund raising efforts for many projects.

Prior to joining K&W, Singley served as project manager at Architerra PC. He holds a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree from The Pennsylvania State University.

“We are fortunate to add Marc’s diverse background in athletic facility design to our team,” said Marc Kurowski, Principal at K&W. “He will also play an important role in our service expansion efforts into the Lehigh Valley by leveraging his local knowledge and professional relationships.”

K&W’s staff recently donated and planted a variety of trees in East Hanover Township.  The staff lent their hands planting River Birch, Red Oak, Red Bud, Paw Paw and American Cranberry seedlings at the East Hanover Township Community Park and Manada Conservancy Cladel Preserve.  These trees will provide benefits to the surrounding community, including better water quality, improved native wildlife habitat, beauty and shade for the park and preserve users.  The trees were planted along waterway areas to create a riparian buffer along the west side of the park as well as through the preserve.  It was truly a great project to be a part of and will be rewarding to see the positive impacts of these seedlings over the next several years.

Construction is very well underway at the Hershey Gardens for the Milton & Catherine Hershey Conservatory.  The project is scheduled to be completed mid-July and will house 200-300 butterfly species year round.  Along with the butterfly atrium, the Conservatory will also have dedicated space to host private events and weddings.  The 16,000 square-foot structure will also be home to stained glass butterflies and a water feature created by local artists.
