ALLAMUCHY, N.J. — Construction is complete for part of the adaptive reuse of the Villa Madonna Mansion in Allamuchy. The mansion's infirmary was converted into a pre-school for the Allamuchy School District. The space contains 12 classrooms and four administrative areas. An 8,000-square-foot addition was also constructed. This space contains a gymnasium, a cafeteria and a multi-purpose room. The project was designed to meet LEED certification, with sustainable features that include a solar photovoltaic array, daylight harvesting, energy-efficient lighting and insulated windows. Somerville, N.J.-based SSP Architectural Group was the project architect. Plans are also under way to convert the remainder of the 18,000-square-foot mansion into a catering facility.
