Strada is taking active measures to ensure the health of our Team Members and also to assist in fighting the spread of COVID-19.
Effective March 17, 2020, Strada is closing our physical offices in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and we will continue to operate remotely. We anticipate returning to our offices on April 30, 2020 but will update our plans as new information becomes available.
Meetings will be held virtually, via conference call or may be postponed. All of our Team Members will be working remotely under our work-from-home policy. Due to the two-week school and business closings our staff may be active at various times throughout the day and evening, so please bear with us as we make every effort to stay on schedule and in contact with our clients and business colleagues.
Christian Brothers Residence is a new communal living residence for 14 Brothers on the La Salle University campus. The initial design was beyond the school’s budget. Working with the University’s CM, Strada re-oriented the plan with a central courtyard configuration to bring the project into budget, saving more than $1,500,000 without sacrificing program. The resulting design is a stick-built one-story building with a central Great Hall to provide bright, comfortable living and dining in a vaulted space with exposed wood trusses. Beyond the great hall, a landscaped internal courtyard contains a small chapel for daily worship. The architectural design reflects the Brothers’ unpretentious aesthetic values, mixing exterior stucco with wood siding accents.
