Century provided design and permitting for Messiah College to construct a single family residential building for the new President’s residence. Construction consisted of the installation of new utility service laterals, an access roadway, and the building footprint on a portion of the existing Musser farmstead located in Upper Allen Township, Cumberland County.  This project affected 3 acres of the 46 acres of property owned by Messiah College.

The project consisted of a 7,000 square foot 2-story house with full basement, dining facilities for seating 50 people, and a three car garage which is located in an area above the existing farmhouse and associated outbuildings. Project features include:

• A new access drive with site lighting
• Power/communications services
• Landscaping
• Storm sewer collection system
• Stormwater management plan and BMP's
• Driveway entrance to the local road
• All associated cleaning, stripping, grading, water quality, and E&SC measures
• Utility coordination and relocation

• Grading the site to provide best management practices and conform to DEP stormwater requirements and erosion and sedimentation control requirements with an existing stream in close proximity to the building site and proposed footprint.
• Coordinating utilities to provide new service to the new residence while maintaining services to the existing farmhouse occupied by students during construction.
