Historic Shady Lane Facility
Gloucester County Improvement Authority, Gloucester County, New Jersey

Program
For 50 years the Shady Lane Nursing Home served the needs of Gloucester County residents. After a new
nursing home was constructed, the county departments, located in separate and leased space, were to
be consolidated into the reconfigured building. Becica Associated began with a two-part strategy - assess the existing conditions of the building and program the needs of the county departments. A Master Plan has been developed for the building, as well as several adjacent structures.

In all government work, budget and schedule are key factors. Becica Associates has adopted an approach
to preserve as much of the buildings systems and infrastructure while weaving in a new use significantly
different from the building’s original function. Key areas are adjacencies, employee comfort, accessibility,
technology and HVAC systems. This project is currently in the Schematic Design Phase.
