Saville, Turner, and Kirsch Join HRG
Herbert, Rowland & Grubic, Inc. (HRG) is pleased to announce the addition of three professionals to our State College office team: Mark Saville, Alan Turner, and Steve Kirsch.
Saville and Turner both join the Geomatics division.
Saville is a licensed professional land surveyor with extensive experience in the higher education market. He has contributed to a wide variety of improvements to the campus residence halls, arboretum, classrooms and athletic facilities at Penn State University, and he is well-versed in all phases of site development (including comprehensive campus utility infrastructure, roadways, site grading, stormwater and regulatory agency approvals). His experience also includes healthcare facilities, hospitality, community streetscapes, senior living, retail, commercial office space and residential subdivisions.
Turner has 30 years of experience in land surveys and construction stakeout, including boundary and topographic surveys, ALTA land title surveys, site utilities and hardscape surveys, building baseline control, and as-built surveys. He is skilled as a technician and as a crew chief, managing staff, schedule and budget to provide the highest level of service to his clients.
Kirsch will join the firm’s Land Development group as a team leader. He is a licensed professional engineer with a wide range of experience in all aspects of civil infrastructure design and permitting including stormwater management, erosion and sedimentation controls and land development permitting. His projects include residential communities, higher education and medical institutions, as well as sports and recreational facilities.
HRG President Jason Fralick is excited for the contribution these individuals will make to the team, saying “Mark, Alan and Steve are excellent leaders and client driven professionals. They will provide a great compliment to our current technical capabilities in the State College area and offer strategic insight into new and growing markets for HRG. They will do an excellent job guiding our clients and our team toward future success.”

Penn Hills Senior High School Named Outstanding High School Design
HRG is proud to announce that Penn Hill Senior High School has been honored as an Outstanding High School Design by American School & University Magazine. HRG served as the civil and site design engineer on this project alongside the architectural team at Architectural Innovations, LLC.
The 301,000 square foot facility seamlessly integrates technology into the classroom and incorporates many green design principles to help the school district lower its energy costs.
Because the new building was built on the same site as the existing building, HRG had to carefully phase the development of the site in order to avoid disrupting school activities. Once the new building was complete, students were transitioned to that facility, the previous building was demolished, and site work began for athletic facilities and additional parking.
HRG’s project manager Jim Feath said, “It was an honor to work on this project and be a part of Architectural Innovations’ team. We’re proud of the facility we were able to create together.”
American School & University Magazine assembles a distinguished panel of education administrators, facility professionals and architects to select the best in school and university designs from that year. Penn Hills Senior High School was one of seven high schools across the United States cited by the panel as an Outstanding High School Design.
Congratulations to our partners at Architectural Innovations on this achievement!”
