“Can we stay open during construction?”

It's one of the most important questions in a healthcare renovation.
And sometimes one of the most complicated. Closing a clinic can affect patients, staff, schedules, and revenue. But renovating an occupied space introduces another set of challenges.

- Noise and dust.
- Use of Temp rooms.
- Safety requirements.
- Contractor access.
- Equipment moves.

And a schedule that needs to work around daily operations.
That's why phasing should be part of the design.

RVA Architecture works with owners, clinical teams, and contractors to identify these constraints early and develop strategies to keep the clinic running. www.rvaarchitects.com

We may be a little late on this, but there is still time to welcome Kelly Cholden to RVA Architecture before she heads back to Temple University.

Kelly recently joined us for her first-ever internship and is entering her second year as an architecture student. Growing up in West Chester, Pennsylvania, she developed an interest in architecture through its connection to art and its ability to influence how people experience and interact with spaces.

During her time at RVA, Kelly has worked alongside the architecture and interior design teams, sat in on project meetings, shadowed CD reviews, and gained exposure to renovation projects, material selections, and finishes.

Kelly comes from a family of lawyers and nurses, but she is building a path of her own through architecture. Outside the studio, she is also a member of the Delta Zeta Sorority at Temple.

Although her internship will soon be coming to an end, we have enjoyed having Kelly as part of the RVA team and look forward to seeing where this rebellious direction takes her.

RVA Architecture was a proud sponsor of this year’s Sons and Daughters of Italy Valley Forge Lodge 1776 Golf Tournament, held at the Linfield National Golf Club in Linfield, PA, with all proceeds from the event benefiting two charities, Angelman Syndrome Foundation and Cooley's Anemia Foundation.

This is the third year that RVA has been involved in the event, sponsoring, providing volunteers, and sending golfers, because it not only supports great causes but also allows our team to improve their handicaps and enjoy a beautiful day.

We’re excited to welcome Hailey Ferraro to the RVA team.

Hailey brings a unique synthesis of interior design, project management, and real-world implementation experience across corporate and pharma settings and multi-site environments.

Before joining RVA, she spent over five years at CBRE, planning and managing facility changes across distributed locations, including reconfiguring and relocating spaces, updating layouts, and ensuring compliance with code and company standards. She worked directly with clients, coordinated with architects, engineers, and vendors, and kept each project on schedule and within budget.

What stood out to us was her ability to excel when projects get complicated between design, operations, and ex*****on, backed by hands-on experience with tenant fit-outs and multi-site coordination, code review, space planning, and site surveys, managing vendors and ensuring quality, and maintaining budgets, schedules, and documentation across active projects.

At the beginning of her career, she built a strong foundation in interiors and design through roles at Corporate Interiors, Inc. and IKEA, where she worked on large-scale remodels and implementing standards.

For Hailey, joining RVA is a return to her hashtag roots, combined with the opportunity to work on national healthcare accounts and take on new challenges at a firm that naturally aligns with her experience.

RVA is excited to welcome the wonderfully 5’8 Eve Hollowell as our new Administrative Assistant.

Eve comes to us with experience in data, systems, and day-to-day coordination. She has worked in healthcare, corporate, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals, supporting teams and keeping information organized and accurate. Her background includes experience working with and for companies such as AT&T, Boeing, Morgan Stanley, Omnicare, and Thermo Fisher Scientific.

We believe that experience carries over well into the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction), where projects rely on clear information, good organization, and steady coordination between architects, real estate teams, and contractors. Eve helps make sure projects are tracked, documented, and moving forward.

She is known for being reliable, detail-oriented, and easy to work with. We’re glad to have her on the team and look forward to how she can help RVA and our clients.
