) Newark office has been retained to provide architectural and engineering services for three Public Housing Authorities and one township in New Jersey.

"New Jersey's Housing Authorities are responsible for providing thousands of residents with a safe and secure living environment. There is a dire need to modernize and upgrade these facilities for the ever growing aging population," said Howard R. Kronland, director of WASA's New Jersey office.

Summit Housing Authority, which provides high quality, affordable housing for low-to-moderate income Summit families and the elderly, hired WASA to survey the conditions of three housing facilities to ensure they meet the terms of the Americans with Disabilities Act Americans with Disabilities Act, U.S. civil-rights law, enacted 1990, that forbids discrimination of various sorts against persons with physical or mental handicaps.  (ADA Ada, city, United States

).

In addition, WASA will be performing "A Physical Needs Assessment".

At 12 Chestnut Avenue, WASA is redesigning the coffee shop/kitchen and community room kitchen, as well as redesigning the bathtub/showers to be ADA compliant.

Similar work is also being designed at the 2 Weaver Street housing complex, and at the One Glenwood Place complex.

WASA also is being evaluated to provide additional services for other housing facilities in Summit. Douglas Wasama, RA is the project's lead architect.

A community of northeast New Jersey north of Jersey City and across the Hudson River from Manhattan Island. Population: 59,500.
 Housing Authority retained WASA to provide architectural and engineering design services at the Cullum Apartments, a 15-story senior citizen housing facility.

The firm also was retained to replace the windows at several of the North Bergen Housing facilities.

Morristown Housing Authority selected WASA to design and engineer the replacement of seven boiler rooms in several buildings within Manahan Village, Wetmore Towers, the Petrone Building and 29 Ann Street There are many Ann Streets in the world:
  • Ann Street, Belfast, Northern Ireland

.

Finally, the Township of South Orange Village tapped WASA to design and engineer the replacement of all the rooftop HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) In the home or small office with a handful of computers, HVAC is more for human comfort than the machines. In large datacenters, a humidity-free room with a steady, cool temperature is essential for the trouble-free  equipment and roofing on the South Orange Library Buildings. The first study phase will be to evaluate the condition of the HVAC system and recommend possible improvements in the 37-year-old library.
