C. Raymond Davis & Sons Announces Grand Opening

03 July 2012 | Affiliate News

Waverley Heights Retirement Community (Gladwyne, PA) recently celebrated the grand opening of its new theater. Waverley Heights is an award-winning continuing care retirement community located on a 63-acre former Philadelphia Main Line Estate in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania.

With the help of KDA Architects who designed the project, C. Raymond Davis and Sons was able to construct a 5,813 square foot two story theater addition. The project includes a state of the art 65 seat movie theater on the upper level and a resident run retail shop on the lower level.

The theater provides an elegant and safe multi-media experience for the residents of the retirement community to enjoy movies, presentations, lectures and televised events. It was designed with full access for the handicapped with wide aisles, handrails, and a wheelchair accessible ramp down the one side. The addition blends seamlessly with the interior and exterior architecture of the existing campus. It is a masonry structure with extensive internal acoustic paneling, a full state of the art sound system and cherry stained wood throughout.

Davis is also completing the final phase of the new healthcare facility set to open at the end of the summer.
