The Professional Consulting services that best meet our firm's experiences and qualifications are analyzing existing conditions and writing specifications for reroofing and building envelope/waterproofing projects.

Armko Industries, Inc. is a full service organization that is qualified to take a project from the initial inspection to the specifications, plans and details, bid package, and provide quality assurance to the final completion of the project.

Armko Industries, Inc. has specified over 150 million square feet of roofing in Texas for more than 29 years. We have worked with over 450 school districts, universities and Jr. Colleges in the State of Texas and provided quality control for over 6,000 projects in the public and private sectors including manufacturing plants, hospitals, colleges, universities, school districts, and other public entities, including various state agencies.

Our competitive level is attested to by our track record, longevity and continuing relationships over the long-term with our clients. Having competent, professional, and technically-oriented people, Armko does the things necessary to ensure successful projects. However, if a problem does arise, it is addressed immediately and resolved.

Our roof and wall plans and illustrated details are completed via use of the most recent version of AutoCAD by our Computer Design Specialists. Our specifications are CSI based and prepared by our specification specialist, architect and roof consultants. Also, Armko is well versed in the local, state and national building codes and ordinances.

Our services will include developing a calendar of events from the issuance of the design standard to the project award date so that all parties will know and understand the exact dates that will be set to meet the time frame required by the Owner in order to meet the project deadlines.

Communication between the Owner and/or their representatives is of the utmost importance to provide a quality set of construction documents for the public bid process.

Concept for Project Staffing

Concept for Project StaffingBCDM Architects has assembled a Team of highly qualified individuals that have exten-sive expertise in various phases of planning and design for religious facilities for our Catholic Church clients. It is important to note that each firm has additional personnel available to your project at various stages and bring a combined total manpower of more than 100 people. In an effort to ensure each member of our Team is able to most effectively participate in the project being proposed by St. Gabriel the Archangel, we have established the following Concept for Project Staffing:

BCDM ArchitectsBCDM will serve as the Prime Architect, responsible for management, planning, and design leadership throughout each phase of the project. This Leadership will be provided through the ongoing involvement of Jim Dennell, our assigned Principal-In-Charge as well as Kevin Strehle, our assigned Project Manager. Jim will lead the programming and master planning efforts as the Project Architect (designer) of all liturgical compo-nents of the project with involvement from the other consultants that are part of the Team as appropriate for the level of detail in the programming process at the particular point in time.

Jim Dennell, AIA, LEED AP will provide pro-gramming, design, and cost control leader-ship on the project. He has performed in these capacities on many of the Catholic Church projects undertaken by BCDM as well as many educational projects. Mr. Dennell is intimately familiar with the philos-ophies of “Built of Living Stones” and the “General Instruction of the Roman Missal.” St. Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Church will not have to educate Mr. Dennell on Catholic Worship. Jim’s understanding of the Catholic faith and how to integrate elements of spirituality into a project are instrumental components of achieving consensus during the design and capital campaign phases. His Catholic understanding also negates the need to include a dedicated Liturgical

Consultant in the planning and design pro-cess at an additional expense to the parish.

Kevin Strehle, ASLA will serve as the Project Manager for the St. Gabriel project. Mr. Strehle has an educational background in architecture as well as education and profes-sional practice expertise as a landscape architect-making him ideally suited for his role as Project Manager. Mr. Strehle will be responsible for coordinating schedules of our in-house staff as well as maintaining communication among our engineering con-sultants. Kevin has served in a similar capac-ity on past religious and educational projects for BCDM as outlined throughout our pro-posal.

Kevin will have an active role in our Team’s Permit Approval process – ensuring the St. Gabriel project does not encounter any zoning, height restriction or code difficulties. Mr. Strehle has already begun the dialogue with city officials in McKinney and under-stands there is a high degree of design review required to achieve project approval. We are committed to maintaining open communication with the city of McKinney.

He will be involved, together with the civil engineers from Baird, Hampton and Brown in developing an efficient and sustainable site planning solution – including the incorpora-tion of outdoor spiritual gardens that will allow parishioners to begin their spiritual journey immediately upon entering the proj-ect site. Tom is passionate about creating outdoor learning environments and spiritual gardens that utilize native plant materials in a manner that provides educational value as well as minimizes maintenance. Tom’s cre-ativity in designing for tight site conditions will produce a variety of design solutions that will meet the needs of St. Maximilian Kolbe in a manner that is harmonious with the surrounding neighborhood

Bob Mabrey, AIA, REFP will provide educa-tional planning and design input as appropri-ate for St. Gabriel’s future planning. In talking with Kevin Bird in advance of com-

pleting our RFQ response, we have learned that St. Gabriel may, at some point in the future, add a school to their existing campus. Mr. Mabrey is a Recognized Educational Facility Planner (REFP) as designated by the Council of Educational Facility Planners International (CEFPI) – one of only 268 such recognized professionals in the United States, Australia and Canada. This expertise will allow him to efficiently identify for St. Gabriel, the appropriate amount of detail regarding a future school to ensure the placement on your campus of the new “Place of Worship” does not hinder future development possibilities.

Mr. Mabrey is also a certified strengths coach – using the faith based “Living Your Strengths” program developed for use by religious organizations. His leadership abili-ties will be utilized as appropriately to assist in consensus building throughout the pro-cess. It is further our understanding that Kevin Bird will be initiating the strengths training program with the St. Gabriel Parish Building Committee.

Charlsi Kratina, IIDA is the in-house Interior Designer for BCDM and will work closely with Jim Dennell as well as St. Gabriel’s inte-rior design subcommittee to develop many of the interior details. She will be involved in selection of materials, furnishings, and art-work to ensure the completed facility is designed as an integrated whole. Charlsi is very conscious of selecting materials which include sustainable characteristics such as low VOC and utilizing adhesives that are not harmful to the environment. Charlsi will have an instrumental role in our Team’s design and coordination of liturgical art.

Steve Mainelli is BCDM’s Construction Manager. During the programming and design phases for St. Gabriel, he will work closely with Kevin Bird and the entire design team. He will provide constructability reviews and offer alternatives that might be deemed more cost-effective. Mr. Mainelli’s involvement in the early stages will reduce coordination issues and potential change

Concept for Project Staffing

orders during construction-all paramount to a successful IPD process. He will also assist in the Redi-Check process. Steve Mainelli will provide leadership during the Construction Administration Phase. He will review all shop drawings for specialty reli-gious items, etc. BCDM anticipates routine site visits to be coordinated effectively with the chosen construction manager to avoid duplication of efforts and costs.

Baird, Hampton & BrownBaird, Hampton & Brown (BHB) will be responsible for 100% of the mechanical/elec-trical engineering analysis and design. Building systems are very important in the design of religious facilities – giving added attention to the importance of quiet mechanical systems, manageable control sys-tems, integration of technology and the importance of utilizing “lighting as art.” They will assign costs to the required systems to assist St. Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Church in making decisions. BHB is located in Fort Worth, Texas to ensure superior coordination with BCDM. The BHB engi-neers are committed to sustainability as evi-denced by the number of individuals within their firm who have received recognition as L.E.E.D. accredited professionals.

BHB will also provide civil engineering ser-vices on the St. Gabriel project. Their understanding of the expansive soil condi-tions in McKinney will be important as BCDM’s structural engineer, Brian Klare, P.E. designs structural systems that are structur-ally sound and aesthetically pleasing.

The engineers from BHB will also work with BCDDM in developing fire sprinkler system designs that meet their functional purpose and are also aesthetically pleasing – this requires an attitude of collaboration.

Baird, Hampton and Brown are part of the BCDM Team on Holy Cross Catholic Church in Frisco, Texas and we have found them to be a well-qualified partner who is committed to working as part of an inte-grated Team.

Electro Acoustics and Acoustic Design AssociatesChris Jordan and Bill Johnson of Electro Acoustics and Acoustic Design Associates respectively have worked together on many religious facilities, including Catholic Church projects. In any new worship facility, both sound and audio/visual are important com-ponents of the design to create a proper balance between the spoken word and music ministries.

Both firms provide their services in a design-build environment on most projects – pro-viding them exceptional understanding of the principles of Integrated Project Delivery as desired for St. Gabriel.

These two firms have provided initial consul-tation to BCDM Architects in the develop-ment of the master plan for Holy Cross Catholic Church and school in Frisco, Texas.

Armko IndustriesAt the urging of Kevin Bird, BCDM Architects has included Mr. Ray Stringer of Armko Industries to consult with our Team in regard to building envelope waterproofing, etc. Mr. Stringer is performing in a similar capacity for St. Francis of Assisi in Texas.

The exact scope of Armko’s involvement will be determined jointly with Kevin Bird and St. Gabriel’s Parish Building Committee. In gen-eral, their services may include design input and subsequently thorough review of the construction documents as they relate to envelope waterproofing – making recom-mendations on design enhancements. Armko will be available to coordinate with the Construction Manager in the develop-ment of a building mock-up of the envelope – taking into consideration insulation, water-proofing and water testing.

Ray is a licensed architect and truly under-stands the importance of effective integra-tion of his services with the entire project Team.

EXPERIENCE Jim is a devout Catholic who takes seriously the opportunity God has given him to utilize his God-Given giftings as an Architect to create inspiring, spiritually uplifting worship environments for Catholic Parishes across the United States.

Jim utilizes the “Built of Living Stones” and General Instructor of the Roman Missal (GIRM) as a basis for the guidance he offers parishes on the Liturgical significance of his design direction. His ability to explain in down-to-earth terms the reasoning behind design decisions has been instrumental in his ability to “build church community, while building a church home.”

Respecting the importance of utilizing God’s resources wisely, Jim has been at the forefront of though leadership on Integrated Project Delivery - focusing more on how effective collaboration among the Owner, Architect and Construction Services can result in better facilities than the “Name” for the process.

Jim is a certified Family Life Minister and Communion Minister in the Archdiocese of Omaha.

Documents Guiding Design

“One of the most significant and formative experiences in the life of a parish commu-nity is the process of building or renovating a church. As part of that process, parish members are called upon to study the Church’s teaching and liturgical theology and to reflect upon their personal pieties, their individual tastes, and the parish histo-ry. By bringing together these personal and ecclesial elements in faith and in charity, parishioners help to build a new structure and to renew their parish community.” ~ Built Of Living Stones

BCDM Architects, more specifically Jim Dennell, has immersed himself in the tenets of both “Built of Living Stones” and the ‘General Instruction of the Roman Missal” (2011 updated version) to ensure he fully understands and comprehends the intent of these documents as they relate to designing new “Places of Worship” that support the liturgy.

As we have detailed throughout our propos-al, BCDM Architects and our individual pro-fessionals take very seriously the opportuni-ty given to us on past Catholic Church proj-ects to both educate and evangelize throughout the planning and design process. The above listed documents are tools we utilize to give substance to the teachings we work to impart on parishioners and others involved in the process.

In all instances, BCDM Architects provides leadership to our Catholic Church clients – guiding them through the various design solutions available so parish representatives can make the most informed decision possi-ble for their local faith community and asso-ciated culture.

24

Building Church Community while Building Churches BCDM facilitates a faith-based project development process that gathers input from the church community-at-large and provides the leadership necessary to devel-op consensus and results in building a stron-ger church community while also building a church facility.

Good Stewards of the LandOur design team creates site and building designs for our clients that foster responsi-ble stewardship of the natural resources God has granted to each of us. We accom-plish this through the use of sustainable materials, efficient building systems and the design of outdoor spaces that are an exten-sion of the overall worship experience.

Design that Enhances MinistriesThe BCDM design team develops aestheti-cally pleasing, functional, cost-effective design solutions that enhance the ministry programs that are unique to the specific faith traditions of our clients. Our designs have been recognized at local, regional and national levels.

Vision Creation resulting in Capital Campaign Success The ability of the BCDM team to create a spiritually uplifting vision of the proposed worship, fellowship and educational environ-ments has resulted in unparalleled capital campaign success - we have never been involved in a Catholic church campaign that did not meet its financial goals.

Balance of Design and Technical AbilitiesBCDM assembles a design team for each project capable of providing a balance of professional services, incorporating awe- inspiring design solutions that are also tech-nically correct. A successful worship envi-ronment is spiritually uplifting, provides exceptional acoustics that enhance both music and the spoken word and utilizes light-ing as art to create the sense of spirituality.

Catholic Diocese ExperienceBCDM Architects has successful Catholic church projects in fourteen different states, including Texas, for seventeen Dioceses across the country. Our work encompasses more than 70 completed projects. At the current time, we have 14 church projects in the Capital Campaign phases - some of whom are raising funds for Phase II projects associated with BCDM master planning efforts.

Holy Cross Catholic Church & School Master PlanProject DataLocation. . . . . . . Frisco, TX Completion . . . . 2009 (Master Plan) Const. Cost . . . . $46 MillionClient Contact Fr. J. Michael Holmberg Pastor (972) 625-5252

Holy Cross challenged BCDM to design a Master Plan that respects the site’s natural character, is not dominated by huge parking areas, and uplifts the church as the campus’s focal point. The 32.2 acre site is character-ized by a 6.5 acre wetland within a rolling native landscape. The master plan accommo-dates 225,000 SF of building area, including: central church courtyard overlooking site 1500 seat church with covered drop-off 100 seat Day Chapel Columbarium garden setting Parish Hall with meeting & youth spaces Parish Offices Pre-School facility for 3 & 4-year-olds 3-section, K-8 School combination football/soccer/softball field Rectory Outdoor Storage building

The proposed solution is designed to create a sense of pilgrimage to the church. A prayer walk symbolizes Christ’s path to Golgotha, journeying through the native landscape to an outdoor Stations of the Cross plaza, and ascending steps to the main church courtyard. The main church access drive allows a departure from the busy traf-fic on Lebanon Road to the place of wor-ship, meandering through the natural landscape and climbing the hill to reveal the church atop the slope. Parking is concealed from the street by campus buildings and in dispersed around the site in landscaped

pods. Drop-off areas provide convenient, protected access to the courtyard and church gathering space.

The campus buildings all focus toward the church, which is themed to reflect the “Holy Cross” name. A prominent entry tower and portal mark the entry into the outreaching arms of the gathering space through special processional doors. A cross-shaped Baptismal Font then welcomes parishioners into the Place of Assembly. The church’s seating is arranged in a “deep-U” configura-tion with curved pews and is covered by a cruciform-shaped roof and lantern over the altar. The church’s exterior – clad in native Texas stone – is of a color and texture rem-iniscent of the Via Dolorosa, and creates the design language for the village-like campus.

Phase One Schematic Design is currently underway. The Phase One project design includes a majority of the site’s development (including grading, drives, parking, site utili-ties, pond area ball field, and landscaping), the Rectory, the Outdoor Storage building, and a portion of the future School building to be utilized in Phase One as a multi-pur-pose structure that houses the full range of the parish’s ministry functions. This Phase One building includes a spacious Place of Gathering and 800 seat Place of Assembly, liturgical support spaces, Music/ Choir prac-tice space, Parish Hall with meeting/ confer-ence spaces and kitchen, Youth ministry space, Food Pantry ministry space, Parish Offices, Educational Office space, and Religious Education classroom spaces that could also serve to initiate a Parish School.

The St. Francis Xavier site is a very challeng-ing, long and narrow, downtown Phoenix site. Traffic issues on the site are a concern, with multiple pedestrian/vehicular conflict points resulting from a shared central parking area. There is also an impression that the parish has lost prominence over time and that the church is secondary to the site.

The proposed master plan seeks to restore the prominence of the parish, re-focusing on the church as the symbolic center of the campus.

Objectives include: Restoration of the church and parish as

the focal point and "unifier" of the campus Resolve current traffic flow and parking

issues between neighboring entities Remove pedestrian/ vehicular conflicts

on campus Create a new SFX "Education Center"

to house a 2-unit elementary school and religious education classrooms for English and Spanish curriculum

Create a new SFX "Parish Center" to house social and meeting spaces, parish offices, and related support spaces

The proposed solution: Removes internal vehicular drives from

the campus, forcing all drives to the perimeter and making central campus entirely pedestrian

Creates the new SFX Education Center to east of the existing school, allowing the existing school to remain fully functional throughout demolition and construction. The new 2-level Education Center is organized around a central courtyard which opens to the west.

Removes the existing rectory/ parish offices complex to expose the entire east elevation of the church, and create a new outdoor gathering court, or "Placita", as the symbolic gathering point for the entire

parish and campus A symbolic walk symbolizing St. Francis

Xavier's missionary journey buffers parking and connects the church to the

Education Center. Interpretive plaques, shade structures, gardens and small side courts relating to future parish facilities will enliven the walk and unify the

campus.

Through a unique and divine series of events, a group of people with diverse backgrounds discovered each other and found that they had the same idea: to build a place off Interstate 80 for travelers to pray and discover the Catholic faith. After two years of searching for the perfect site, one was secured overlooking the Platte River Valley near Gretna.

The purpose of the shrine is to provide an opportunity for people to develop and dis-cover the Catholic faith. Often, the faith is seen with the convoluted influences that dis-tort its origin and intents; this secluded place allows for the discovery of Catholicism with-out such outside distractions.

Upon entry to the site, visitors experience a natural prairie setting. Once inside the entry portal, the visitor is drawn to a central, tomb-like room naturally lit by a large light opening in the roof. In the center of the room is a pool of water, the source of which is dripping from a metal sculpture symbolic of the Holy Spirit. Also in this space is a conference and gathering room and an infor-mation area.

The chapel structure itself is 45 feet at its highest point, made of arching members of wood and steel. As visitors enter the chapel, the water from the entry portal does as well, further symbolizing the presence of the shroud of Christ. Etched in a prominent piece of glass at the front of the chapel is an image of the Holy Family. With an open view of the prairie and river valley beyond, this image appears like spirits in heaven.

Future DevelopmentAnother portion of the site will be the walking trails, built into the natural prairie landscape. This will be to provide a path for pilgrims to walk physically as they journey spiritually. Again, the water stream trickles into the area as a constant reminder of the Lord’s presence. The walk paths will be

carved into the natural grasses, the effect being a very serene setting.

A cluster of small residences will be located on the lower section of the site for retiring, religious and retreat purposes. Also, a retreat shelter will be located on an isolated section of the site for groups to gather and discover their faith.

Comprehensive Master Plan of a Large, Traditional ParishIn 1996, BCDM began working with Fremont’s St. Patrick’s Parish to develop a detailed Master Plan for the next 50-to-75 years. St. Patrick’s had long-since outgrown its 100-year old original church and was in need of new facilities to accommodate not only worship, but also fellowship and educa-tional activities.

Retaining the Parish HistoryOnce it was determined that the original 400-seat St. Patrick’s could not realistically be expanded into a 1,100 seat church, the parish focused its concern toward designing and constructing a semi-traditional new building on a new site. The Parish wanted a new church whose architecture, both inside and out, made a statement of Catholic tradi-tion. BCDM’s design solution incorporated both the rich tradition of the Catholic

church and the latest contemporary guide-lines of the "Built of Living Stones” docu-ment.

Building ConsensusWorking with the Building Committee and the Parish’s Fund-Raising Consultants, the architects of BCDM developed a schedule of several consensus building activities. For example, very early in the planning process the architects sat outside of each Sunday Mass to give the Parish-at-Large a chance to visit with them individually. This was done before any project decisions were made, and gave everyone the chance to provide input to the planning process.

Later, as the Master Plan was being devel-oped, regular “Town Hall” meetings were held where literally hundreds of parishioners gathered to hear the architects present their findings to date, ask questions, and offer comments regarding the direction of the Master Plan. In time, diverse opinions of project goals merged toward a common vision through the process of consensus building.

The DesignThe Nave floor plan is an innovative cruci-form plan in which the traditional cruciform proportions are widened to create a sense of "one community around the altar," reduce distances between the rear pews and the altar, and maintain the historical sense of a cruciform plan.

Two levels of upper clerestory windows bring natural light into the upper column of the space to create an uplifting, spiritual environment.

The Weekday/Reservation Chapel doubles as overflow space to add 100 additional seats for heavily attended liturgies.

There is a strong connection between the details, furnishings, light fixtures, and the windows. They all express a variation of a geometric theme. The exposed, skeletal structure in the existing building is celebrated, and expressed throughout. The exposed structure in the new space reflects the marriage of new and old in a fashion that is complimentary. There are creative ways of admitting light throughout. Overall, this is an interesting transformation of an older building. ~ Jury Comments, Journal of the Interfaith Forum on Religion, Art & Architecture/Number 1/2003

Master Planning BCDM was retained by St. Patrick Catholic Church in Gretna to formulate a Master Plan for their growing parish. The Master Plan included expanding their current Church from 200 to 950 seats, adding a lower level, Fellowship Hall and Church

Offices. Provisions were also made for phasing the project so that the Fellowship Hall can be finished at a later date as the parish continues to grow. The Church addi-tion, Religious Education Center and Small Offices comprised Phase I. Phase 2, sched-uled for construction in 2010, will contain

the Fellowship Hall, expanded Offices and added Classrooms. A full 5-day Elementary School and Pre-School are planned for the long-range future as Phase 3. (continued...)

Contextually Comfortable St. Patrick’s Catholic Church is located in an older neighborhood of traditional single family homes. BCDM created an addition that blends traditional architectural motifs with contemporary affordable construction techniques. Pitched roofs with wood trusses and large windows in brick walls help parishioners feel as though their addition compliments the origi-nal worship space.

Original Church Becomes Cornerstone Weekday Chapel The parish felt their historic undersized worship space, which was completed in 1895, should not be demolished. BCDM's design solution to that goal resulted in the original church becoming a 200-seat transept arm of the overall 950-seat cruciform plan church. A prayer and meditation

courtyard was introduced to preserve the original church while allowing natural sunlight to penetrate into the new nave. Two other courtyards will serve, in future Phases of the Master Plan, as traditional organizing elements for the 35,000 square foot additions onto the 4,000 square feet original building. These courtyards will be used as additional outdoor rooms for vari-ous religious and social functions, as well as spontaneous social interaction.

The Prescott Valley, Arizona Parish of St. Germaine was at a crossroads in planning for their future facilities when they selected BCDM to design a new Masterplan for their current site. Growth in their Parish popula-tion was severely taxing their limited site and building; yet the people preferred to, if possible, develop and expand their present home rather than move to a new site.

The property was landlocked, surrounded by residential properties and public streets. Reuse and modification of the existing build-ings, making them an integral part of the Master Plan, was important in order to reduce costs.

Several alternative design solutions were prepared, one of which involved the creative relocation of a dajacent street in order to improve traffic flow, expand the site size and increase visibility of the new church as the focal point of the site. Existing buildings will be modified minimally to change their func-tion and aesthetically compliment the new church.

Additional refinements are being studeied in order to break the Master Plan into multiple phases, with the first phase to begin as soon as possible and take advantage of lowered construction costs.

The architectural style selected to unify the campus is a merger of historic mission style and the vernacular architecture of the Prescott Valley area.

Project ApproachOur Approach to Catholic Church Process

Understanding of CatholicismBCDM Architects are blessed to be involved in building the Catholic Church community. Although we are architects, we are Catholics and Christians first. Our firm is convicted in building faith along with structures. Three of the four of our directors are strong practic-ing Catholics and our fourth is a devout Christian that embodies the principles of the Catholic faith. The proposed team is also practicing Catholics that have worked on several Catholic churches together and con-sider the building process as a personal min-istry to evangelize and educate all those involved. At BCDM we are open about our faith. The exposure of our staff to the evan-gelization and education opportunities of our process have become instruments which have converted staff to the Catholic Church as well as producing a Deacon and most recently a seminarian. It is paramount that the process is built with living stones, the parishioners of St Gabriel the Archangel. This will be one of the most significant and formative experi-ences in the life of your parish commu-nity. BCDM will serve as to bridge the world of the visible with the mysterious invisible that endures across generations.

Jim Dennell and Kevin Strehle have success-fully been humble servants to facilitate this significant and formative process on many Catholic Church projects. Their exposure to the Catholic faith from birth and as min-isters in their parishes has formulated a deep respect and understanding of the litur-gy and the Church’s teachings. They credit their contributions from God through the power of prayer. It is so important to bal-ance our temporal tendencies with the works of the Holy Spirit. The ultimate occurs when we die of ourselves and allow God to direct.

All come to the table with good will but we must be aware that the devil wants equal time, so it is critical that the community be balanced with prayer. All will have varying levels of understanding of the liturgy. The process of building worship spaces affords a perfect opportunity to educate people what the Catholic Church teaches and thus deep-en their sense of Catholic identity. This will be even more special during this “Year of the New Evangelization.”

Project Approach - Integrated Project DeliveryBCDM has been involved in a variety of unique construction delivery processes – we are pioneers in creating an efficient and inte-grated process that reduces cost, increases quality and reduces risk. We have used Integrated Project Delivery that incorpo-rates the owner, architect and contractor(s) as one entity and the savings are shared pro-portionally. These include the Holy Family Shrine and the Riley Building on the next page.

44


1) Holy Family Shrine

2) Riley Building

Both projects proved that when the owner, architect and contractor shared risk, were vested and integrated, the value of the proj-ect increased. Life cycle upgrades of materi-als and enhanced design were afforded by eliminating redundant and non- essential activities. Contracting and legal costs were reduced, which allowed added savings. The positive attitude and trust that developed increased efficiency and quality and lowered cost. The IPD delivery allowed all key players to be involved in the initial stages of the design. Cost, methods of construction, anomalies of the building type and local conditions were all dis-cussed and vetted before major direc-tions and decisions were made as a team. Without the IPD process, initial decisions are made by the architect without the resource of the contractor. Many times, after major investments of cost and time have been made, the initial assumptions of the architect are not accurate. As a result

designs are altered -with concessions. The owner as a vested team member under-stands the value of making timely decisions and being organized. The ability to delineate expectations led to meeting expectations for all.

The traditional sequences were redefined when key players were involved and when activities were performed. Key Contractors were introduced to the project initially to gain their expertise and to build ownership. Architects and engineers were used during construction for layout and to make final decisions. Also, the team could procure materials and contracts just in time to improve schedule and costs. A variety of contracting was utilized. Key contractors, such as mechanical and electrical, were negotiated and selected, while others were bid. Contracts included lump sum cost to cost plus to get the best pricing. We were able to evaluate the best packaging of work to get the best price and develop bid pack-ages accordingly. In some cases, buying direct and contracting labor was the most practical. We were able to work directly

with artisans and coordinate with other trades to gain customized design elements at lower commodity pricing.

As much as we feel IPD is an ultimate deliv-ery, we understand some in the industry have not made the cultural transition. BCDM has been instrumental in taking the princi-pals of IPD and infusing them into more tra-ditional deliveries.

Example 1 - Holy Spirit Catholic Parish in Bowling Green, Kentucky.At the time this project began, Design/Bid/Build was a more accepted delivery. We were able to convince the parish to select the general contractor at schematic design and utilize them as a Construction Manager at Risk. The parish was fortunate to have an experienced parishioner, which had just retired from a major international construc-tion firm to act as the owner’s representa-tive. The selected Construction Manager and their Project Manager were also parishio-ners. This team was immediately bonded by Christ and the attitude and trust followed as if this was an IPD

45


contract. We were able to utilize all the principals we learned from our past IPD experiences. The guaranteed maximum price was set after receiving quotes and bids, which reduced the contractor’s cost risk and decreased the overall cost to the owner.

Example 2 - St Joseph Catholic Parish in Le Mars, IowaThe LeMars design and construction com-munity had an extremely traditional Design/Bid/Build culture. To increase the bene-fits of the IPD principles, BCDM met with the probable General Contractors and reviewed the early stages of the project to build their ownership and gain perspectives of the abilities, capacities and methods of construction. We determined that there was a wide range of quality among sub con-tractors. We suggested limiting selection to prequalified contractors and suppliers approved by us and the owner. This allowed the General Contractors to reduce their contingencies and select preferred subcon-tractors they wanted. The low-bid General Contractor was a parishioner and the atti-tude and trust was immediate. The contrac-tor was transparent with his costs and

equitably adjusted his initial bid to save costs and improve quality.

Example 3 - St Vincent de Paul Parish in Wildwood, FloridaThis project is the result of a design/build completion that BCDM Architects was selected to design jointly with Emmett Sapp Builders. This was the first Design/Build construction delivery the Orlando Diocese has undertaken – all in an attempt to meet the Parish’s budget. The Parish and Diocese had undergone a prior attempt to build the project using a traditional design/bid/build process that was over budget at the comple-tion of the bid documents. Scrapping the design, they opted to try the Design/Build approach. Our BCDM/Emmett Sapp Builders Team immediately utilized the principles of IPD to develop a design that integrated a team of design professionals, contractors and suppliers. The result was a design that can be constructed for 33% less than the previously designed project. The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) accelerated the contractors bidding process and gave them security in what they were bidding. The REVIT model allowed bidders to “virtually” build the project and suggest economies to the project -resulting in a design that not only was the lowest cost but was the preferred design.

Our success with implementing IPD princi-ples on many of our projects is due to our ability to understand the integration of design and construction. BCDM has acted as Construction Manager as Agent on numerous projects over the last 18 years. The experience with Architect- Led CM projects, along with having two Construction Managers on staff, keeps us current with costs, methods and materials of construction

46


and innovative ways to streamline the design and construction process. Our frequency and volume of Catholic churches makes us a great resource of data to our owners and contractors when establishing opinions of probable costs.

Whatever construction delivery is used, the principals of Integrated Project Delivery are the heart of BCDM’s process. Those princi-ples include collaboration, communication and integration-while leveraging technology. The goal is to utilize the resources of the team in the most streamlined and efficient manner- adding value and decreasing cost through the lifecycle of the built environ-ment.

“Our Mission is to collaboratively lead those we serve in the creation of innovative environments, using our God-given talents for the betterment of our communities.”

47

Project ApproachOur Approach to Catholic Church Projects

At BCDM we believe that a “standard,” single approach to the involvement of our Clients in the creative process does not work. We strive to tailor each proj-ect to meet the specific needs and desires of the individual Client.

We believe strongly in the “Minds of Many” principle as a guide to finding and developing the proper solution for each project. If our firm is retained to assist in developing a comprehensive Vision for St. Gabriel The Archangel’s facilities, we intend to search the minds of your Pastoral Staff, Building Committee, Subcommittees and a broad cross-section of your Parish, then blend those thoughts with ours to cre-ate a solution that best fits the needs of St. Gabriel The Archangel.

“Plans fail when there is not counsel, but they succeed when

counselors are many.”Proverbs 15:22

In all projects, it is imperative that the process focus on the following attri-butes: God-Centered

Consensus Based

Truthful

Communicative

Realistic

Excited

The following is a summary of how we would propose to orchestrate the plan-ning and design for St. Gabriel The Archangel.

Conceptualizing (Programming) Determining and defining expectations is the key to programming. It is important for key stakeholders to educate each other to the level of their understanding.

Utilizing an integrated process throughout the entire project is a goal for BCDM. We feel it is critical to identify key stakeholders and involve them at the earliest stages possi-ble. For the owner this means those that may campaign for or contribute to the proj-ect. It also should include those who will be making final decisions, the users and those will operate the facility. As for the construc-tor, this means having the Construction Manager selected at the initiation of Master Planning. The Design team will include key consultants to confirm direction and build ownership in the design. We also see the value of including the Capital Campaign con-sultant during the master planning phase to identify initial feasibility of giving and for them to gain key project information they may need for the campaign. Their expertise throughout the master plan can play a big part in developing a fund raising strategy at the appropriate time. The master planning

process also cultivates leaders to execute the campaign. Doing this as an integrated Team saves time and reduces the risk of burn-out the parishioners involved.

The beauty of integrating all stakeholders in the process is the ownership and under-standing people gain. While some individuals may have no role in decisions -they are allowed to understand the origin, direction and goals of the design. This is also impor-tant for the users and operators of the facil-ity. The success of any good design is how it functions. If the design is based upon liturgi-cal principles, it is important for ministers to utilize the building in that way to realize optimum performance. If sustainable princi-ples are designed into the mechanical and electrical systems, the ultimate success and projected paybacks will be achieved when these systems are operated according to original design specifications.

Meeting FrequencyDuring the master planning phase we like to personally meet as many people as possible, as a group or individually (the flow chart above details those meetings). We also like to conduct GoTo meetings every week or two with a core of decision makers (Program Manager, Committee Chair(s), Pastor, Director, Construction Manager) to keep on task and build ownership. GoTo meeting is an on line meeting platform that the team can access to hear and view mate-rial in a live setting.

Once we begin the Design Development through Construction Document phases we like to meet weekly or bi-weekly to again keep people on task and build ownership. Scheduled meetings, conducted with pur-pose, leadership and agendas lead to efficien-cies and reduce misunderstandings. The dis-cipline of these meetings leads people out of their silos and reinforces collaboration. The frequency of these meetings allows informa-tion to be shared at critical times - increas-ing value and decreasing costs. People become more accountable and more

productive when they interact more fre-quently.

SustainabilityAt BCDM, we believe that accomplishing design as an integrated system between the site selections, architectural design and sys-tems is an important part of each project we undertake.

Some of the principles we will give consider-ation to during the planning and design of the important St. Gabriel project includes: Greater value on associated life cycle

costs in addition to initial development costs. Environmental responsibility as a sound

investment and a benefit to business practice. Prioritization of the health and

psychological well-being of the individuals in our built environment.

BCDM is proud to have designed the first Catholic Church project registered for LEED certification (Holy Spirit in Bowling Green, KY). Although the owner has not finalized their submittals, the first Phase will be LEED silver. Many individuals on our staff have achieved LEED accredita-tion. Long before it was required by code, we were implementing sustainable principles into our projects. Water-to-water heat pumps to provide chilled and hot water to fan boxes was one of the major energy reduction measures incorporated into the Holy Spirit project. This system allowed us to “diversify the load” – taking full advantage of the fact that the worship center and other parts of the facility were not fully occupied simultaneously. Since the water-to- water system acts as a central source, we were able to reduce the tonnage by 40%. This system design decision not only lowered initial costs but the life cycle gain was significant. The St. Joseph Catholic Church in Le Mars (IA) project, which included the same sys-tem, is seeing a $29,159 annual savings with a projected payback of 4.2 years for incre-mental construction. The key is to include innovative solutions that are sustainable and at or below the cost of a more traditional system design. BCDM Principal Kevin Strehle is a landscape architect with a supplemental educational background in architecture - and is a great resource to assure our projects have sustain-able innovations that integrate site and build-ing elements harmoniously.

Collaborative Leadership Our Leadership has been the key to our success and is truly a differentiator-knowing the human dynamic along with an equal understanding of the dynamics of the build-ing process. A building process that is con-tiguous from master planning through con-struction to building operation results in successful design solutions. As much as the St. Gabriel project will be a building endeav-or, it will be a human experience. Collaborative leadership integrates the human resources throughout the dura-tion of the project. Appreciation, understanding and patience for all team members are vital to gain own-ership and optimize the results of good design. Inclusion of key stakeholders and other design disciplines throughout the pro-cess enrich the possibilities of a design. As leaders we feel it is our responsibility to set the boundaries and help the team establish goals. Leadership requires making people accountable and telling them what needs to be heard. Truth is at the center of leader-ship- which produces trust. Trust produces openness and openness produces collabora-tion.

Education and EvangelizationThe National Conference of Catholic Bishops encourages education of the liturgy and the Catholic teachings to be conducted by the parish during the building process. We feel it is a personal ministry to include this education in our process. As Catholics we see it as our responsibili-ty to use the process to evangelize and educate those involved about the litur-gy and our faith. Before we begin pro-gramming and design we will educate those involved on the principles of “Built of Living Stones” issued by the National Council of Bishops and the parallels of the liturgy, scrip-ture, Church’s history and Her teachings as they all relate to the “place of worship.”

Visual ProgrammingBCDM is proud of the development of our “Visual Programming” process. We came to the realization that our clients don’t always know the size and scale of spaces and ele-ments of Church design. With our depth of projects, we are able to include examples of different options available when developing the program statement. The Visual Program includes diagrams, pictures of similar spaces and sizes, level of finish, cost and several options to calculate space size. The digital program Includes definitions, enhanced descrip-tions and quotes from “Built of Living Stones” and the “General Instruction of the Roman Missal.” Once completed, the program links our cost data to produce initial budgets.

Building Information ModelingWe will use REVIT as our BIM software to create our designs. From the beginning, we will be able view our ideas in 3-dimensional forms. We will present live images of the model and will be able to manipu-late the model in any view to help the stakeholders visualize exactly what is proposed. This tool is extremely useful to all design disciplines, bidders and construc-tors. We have found it invaluable during design development to integrate systems and materials in innovative, cost-effective ways.

Bid Package ReviewAt the completion of Design Development, we will identify with the Construction Manager, the probable bid packages and con-tracts. Once these are identified, we will review the needed documentation for bid-ding and construction. This will assure lowest costs and maximize efficiency, while reducing requests for informa-tion (RFI’s) during construction. The process of identifying the documents needed stimulates the Construction Manager to vir-tually build the project before construction. The Construction Manager will gain early, intimate understanding of the project -when value decisions can be optimized.

Integrating the Capital Campaign Consultant during Master PlanningOften the Capital Campaign Consultant (CCC) is selected after master planning. We see duplicate efforts are taken by the CCC to gain knowledge and understanding of the Parish. If the CCC is integrated into the master planning they will be able to optimize the number of touches with the parish, while gaining firsthand knowledge of the development of the project. Combining the effort to gain the information needed for the master plan and the capital campaign at one time will reduce the calendar days usually taken before fund-ing is secured. The momentum established from the master plan process seamlessly continues into the capital campaign. This integration will facilitate St. Gabriel’s goal of moving into capital campaign as quickly as possible, while providing a clear design of the parishes needs, wants and associated costs - better articulating the design and exciting the parish.

Use of Technology

Modeling for Visual AidsBCDM exclusively uses REVIT software for BIM modeling for the design and production of our projects. We have used it during design to produce rendering quality views and images. We constantly use the model in our GoTo meetings, starting with master planning and continuing through con-struction. The use of 3D drawings brings people along in one- fourth the time of a 2D drawing -with 100% accuracy. There is no ambiguity in their expectation.

Consultant Use of BIM from Baird, Hampton & BrownOur consultants use Revit (BIM) and use it through design to discover conflicts and integrate systems. The ability to understand the Church design is greatly reduced and more time is spent on creating optimum value than comprehending the design.

Contractor Use of BIM ModelWe also provide the Construction Manager with accurate quantities for budgeting. We can filter elements in the model to highlight

work in different packages for quick scope verifications and complexity of work. During construction we have used the model to preview the work to be constructed and communicate details better. These efforts have optimized the contractors’ readiness when commencing and sequencing construc-tion. By virtually building their work, they gain the experience as if they had built it before.

Benefits of BIM ModelingThere has been no down side to the tech-nology. The efficiencies gained are greater than the learning curve. Our learning curve has reduced to nothing - allowing us to make numerous enhancements on each project we design. BIM is developing a new culture as we reduce the 2-Dimensional mentality to using 3D. Also, the culture is transitioning from paper to digital. The up side is the accuracy of modeling and pre-venting issues in the field. We have reduced RFI’s to almost zero. Our time is now spent enhancing design and increasing value to the project instead of crisis management. The finished product has increased noticeably. Our change order/contingencies have always been low but we have seen them reduced by as much as 50%. One of our most recent Catholic Church projects (Design/Bid/Build) is being dedicated in January and has change order performance of less than 1% to date. This is exceptional-particularly given the necessary interface with existing buildings.We therefore highly recommend BIM tech-nology and will use it to the highest levels possible. The BIM technology supports our integrated approach and is our preferred way of executing our pro-cess. We have been able to develop new possibilities and expand the uses of BIM for each of our projects. For St Gabriel the Archangel, that may include our recent development of Linkman which links our

53

Use of Technology

specification software SpecLink with our modeling software Revit. The link is able to populate data between the two. Thus, all the objects placed in the model contain the specification information of each specific product. For example, by simply touching a window component in the model, we will see the specification and any information we would like to add. Some information may include the supplier’s contact information and the type of glass. We see this expanding the use of the model during construction and continuing through

your operation of the facility. It also quantifies how many of these windows are in the model –providing a great tool for the team during budgeting and confirmation of bid packages. The other enhancement we are developing is the expansion of the use of the model for operational use. The REVIT software contains viewing programs that can be used by your staff-allowing you to access the as-built information in the model. By adding the operational data to the mechani-cal and electrical systems and equipment, the building owner and maintenance staff will be

able to retrieve the required preventative maintenance information throughout the life of the building.

As-Built DrawingsThe As-Built drawings are a data rich digital model that can be loaded to a laptop or Ipad. The As-Built drawings become a one-stop center of information- replac-ing the rolls of drawings and reams of paper of the past. Any notes or photos of construction can be attached as a file and keyed to the model. A click of the mouse

reveals the picture. Throughout construc-tion, we will review with the CM and the contractors the construction progress and revise and add information to the model each time.

Project Procedures

Tools for Managing your Project - From Design through ConstructionBCDM’s approach to project management is to maximize the benefits which can be derived from utilizing a variety of tools we have available to us, including: A custom developed project checklist (derived from industry-wide best practices

and past lessons learned) to ensure all steps are executed in a deliberate and coordi-nated manner.

A resource planning software (Deltek) that identifies the available time of each individual within our firm and the projects they are assigned to – allowing us to man-age workload and effectively assign personnel to meet project objectives.

Use of Revit software as a Building Information Modeling (B.I.M.) tool to increase 3-dimensional visualization of project elements, reduce coordination conflicts and assist in project costing and scheduling.

A L.E.E.D. checklist that facilitates active dialogue among our design team and cli-ent groups to maximize sustainability alternatives – regardless of a client’s ultimate desire to pursue formal L.E.E.D. certification.

Use of Timberline cost estimating software, to develop more detailed, accurate cost estimates – eliminating surprises in project budgeting.

Execution of a Redi-Check Interdisciplinary Coordination System as part of a comprehensive review of the documents and ensure effective interrelatedness of all disciplines.

Use of the Submittal Exchange software to facilitate paperless communication among all project stakeholders.

These tools will allow our Team to execute the processes and achieve the results desired by St. Gabriel The Archangel.

Proactive Management of Construction CommunicationBCDM is proud to have a great record of response during construction. Building our own projects as Architect Led Construction Management we understand how critical timely response is. Therefore we anticipate the time required by or staff to make them available during construction. We reduce the crisis by previewing work with all the stages of work with the BIM model. We develop a list of preconstruction issues associ-ated with each phase of construction to review and preempt questions. We have found the use of the BIM model has reduced RFI’s and Change orders. We believe in controlling the issues before they control us.

Additional DocumentationIn the event RFI’s and ASI are needed we produce these immediately if not the same day and post them using a predetermined communication platform such as Submit-tal Exchange. Submittal Exchange is a collaborative, secure online system for exchanging, reviewing and archiving construction submittals, RFI’s, PCO, ASI’s and other design and construction commu-nication.

Omitted ItemsIf information is left off the drawings and are the result of an error on our part, we will equitably contribute for the additional cost of any non value added work.

Owner Provided ItemsWe know there will be owner provided work that needs to be coordinated with the construction and we will add and distin-guish this work on the drawings. We require that the parties involved in providing, coordinating or installing the owner pro-vided work participate in the preconstruc-tion conference so it is understood how the owner work and construction work can be accomplished without impacting the cost or schedule.

Master PlanningAs the Building Committee presented Master Plan concepts to the Parish for their existing facility, considerable discussion ensued about the long-term benefits of pur-chasing a new site and developing an entirely new campus. At that time, BCDM was asked to generate several design alternatives. Based on greater opportunity for the future, the parish secured a new 30 acre site, 3½ miles from the existing parish.

Divided into two phases, construction of Phase 1 entailed new parish offices, cate-chesis classrooms and social hall (29,000 sf) . Phase II consisted of the main worship and gathering spaces for the church building (24,000 sf).

Honoring our Past; Building Our Future was the Parish’s central theme as they undertook the replacement of their existing worship space, social hall and parish offi ces on the site of the former Gehlen Catholic School.

The progression of faith begins as parishioners enter the site and are greeted by the statue of the church’s patron, St. Joseph, and welcomed to worship by the steeple, designed as a replica of one from the old church, bells dating back to 1877 as well as a clock welcoming people to worship and prayer.

BCDM successfully blended contemporary technologies with traditional styles of the past - integrating as many elements from the old church as possible, including the high altar (Reredos) as the central focal point of

the 600-seat (expandable to 800) worship space. A 6,700 s.f. social hall and 2,700 s.f. offi ce are visually connected to the worship area by the four supporting legs of the steeple.

The placement of the baptismal font on axis with the altar is a reminder of the connection between baptism and Eucharist as sacraments of initiation.

The overall sense of spirituality within the worship space is achieved through incorporation of artistic stained glass from the existing church in the upper windows together with the spiritual story of St. Joseph depicted in the lower windows-refurbished from St. Michael Church in Munich, Germany.

RELIGIOUS PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Leaders and governing bodies at numerous churches and religious institutions have called upon the engineers at BHB forengineering services. These projects have involved all of our in house disciplines, including mechanical, electrical and civilengineering, as well as land surveying. This experience has included both new construction and renovations of sanctuaries,educational centers, recreational facilities and gymnasiums, kitchens and dining halls, and auditoriums for churches bothinside and outside of Texas.

Saint Patrick’s Cathedral Fort Worth, TX – The civil engineering work for this projectinvolved correcting drainage problems around the building. The historical restorationfocused on restoring the existing limestone masonry, and there had been significantdeterioration caused by years of water penetration into the masonry.

Excavated portions of the masonry that were below grade and installed waterproofingRe graded around the building to help shed water away from the foundation of thebuildingInstalled a sidewalks and provided associated grading workDesigned a new stairway into the lower floor basementProvided new underground roof drainage piping and connected it to the City’s stormdrainDesigned a catch basin drain system on the building’s south side to drain a fairly tightarea out into Throckmorton street

In addition to civil engineering, BHB conducted a topographic and a boundary survey of the property. The boundary surveywas required by the City of Fort Worth to ensure the proper distance of newly constructed facilities from the existing right ofway.

This building and its original construction has significant local historical value. Stone for the walls was quarried locally, horsepowered lathes were used to turn and polish 18 interior pillars, and ceilings and window frames were wood grained. Thestained glass windows were imported from Munich, Germany; and the church’s bell, cast in Troy, New York, has been in usesince 1888. The site was recorded as a Texas Historic Landmark in 1962.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, Fort Worth, TX – Civil engineering, HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, lighting, and power for thenew 40,000 SF Sanctuary which included a priest office, chapel and dining facility. Civil engineering included 2 onsite detentionbasins, site paving connecting from Town Center Dr around the building to Hammond St., site utilities, public water and sewerextension and drainage analysis. Coordination with the Railroad due to the nearby railroad track was necessary along withcoordination with the City. Roof top HVAC units were mounted directly over the sanctuary. Sound attenuators were utilizedon the rooftops serving the Sanctuary to reduce breakout noise. As an additional project, BHB provided the same services fora new 20,000 SF Meeting / Classroom multifunctional building with a center courtyard.

Immaculate Conception, Denton, TX –HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, lighting, and power for the new 30,000 SF Sanctuary,which was built in the shape of a cross. The roof top systems were located around the perimeter of the building over theSanctuary. Sound attenuators were utilized on the rooftops serving the Sanctuary to reduce breakout noise. Other challengesto the project consisted of fitting the ductwork properly due to the unique shape of the building.

Catholic Charities / Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth, TX – Complete site development and MEP for the Catholic CharitiesAdministration to include three buildings: 60,000 SF Administration Building, 14,000 SF Assessment Center & StorageBuildings. Included in Design was a relocated entry drive, and water, sewer and gas utilities.

Project ExperienceBHB



Holy Cross Catholic Parish, Frisco, TX – BHB provided the preliminary civil and MEP design services for this campus whichincludes spaces for worship, social meetings, parish offices, living, pre school, and educational classroom areas. Thesefunctions are intended to be housed in a total of seven (7) buildings totaling 180,000 SF.

Civil engineering included zoning of the site, site plan approval for phased development, and coordination for dedication ofwetland areas to the City of Frisco. Also included in the civil aspects of this project were preliminary site plans for parking, firelanes, drainage analysis, storm drainage, water and sanitary sewer, and new left turn/turn right turn lanes on two existingdivided thoroughfares.

Mechanically, it is desired to utilize ground source heat pumps for space heating and cooling. The preliminary mechanicaldesign includes a layout of well fields for the geothermal loops for each project building. Significant coordination wasrequired to accommodate the required loop and well quantities with numerous utilities and other site features. Within theplanned first phase of the worship/school building, preliminary equipment locations and duct routings were coordinated witharchitectural features and structural constraints. Additionally, plans were developed for a Phase 1 Kitchen space and futurerenovation, and a Phase 1 meeting area that will later become the larger school kitchen and cafeteria.

The Plumbing design efforts included coordination of water and sanitary sewer sizes and locations for each of the proposedbuildings on the site. Within the Phase 1 building, the plumbing design efforts included routing of domestic water mains toserve the various fixtures throughout the building, as well as location and preliminary sizing of water heaters. A typicalplumbing fixture schedule was developed. Fire sprinkler riser locations were also identified in the Phase 1 building, firedepartment connection locations were coordinated with the City of Frisco requirements for each proposed building on thesite.

The preliminary electrical design includes the coordination of estimated electrical loads for each building and an overall siteelectrical distribution system. Within the Phase 1 building, light fixture types were selected and coordinated within the designteam for the architecturally significant spaces (Worship space, entrance lobby, etc.) as well as for ‘typical’ offices andclassrooms. A preliminary single line diagram of the electrical distribution system has been developed with electrical roomsidentified to house this equipment.

The design approaches for each discipline includes provisions for future expansions.

St. Ann Catholic Church, Burleson, Texas – Baird, Hampton & Brown, Inc. provided the mechanical, electrical and plumbingengineering design for the demolition of 4,900 SF wing and a 12,000 SF addition to an existing church. The addition included aparish hall with platform, chapel, multi purpose room, and a 1,350 SF kitchen.

The new addition was conditioned via six rooftop units (RTUs) with gas heating coils. All of these RTUs were specified to behigh efficiency units with full economizers and relief dampers in the units. The multi purpose room is serviced by two largeRTUs and one small RTU. The larger RTUs contained multiple compressors with hot gas reheat for relative humidity control.All of the RTUs serving the building expansion, excluding the kitchen, were provided with vibration isolation roof curbs toreduce the noise transmitted into the parish hall spaces. A separate ductless split system was provided to serve the A/VCloset. The kitchen was provided with a constant volume RTU with multiple compressors for low HVAC load conditions. Thekitchen was also provided with a supply air make up fan and commercial grease exhaust fan. Domestic hot water wasprovided to the building via a single large gas water heater. The water heater provided 140 deg F water to the kitchen and 110deg F hot water to the new gang restrooms included in the addition. Low water flow plumbing fixtures were specified toreduce the water consumption of the building addition. A new 25 hp fire pump was specified to serve the building addition.An anti freeze loop was specified for the Porte Cochere.

The existing main electrical distribution equipment serving the church was in poor condition and did not meet required workspace clearance requirements. This project replaced this equipment with a new 1,200 amp, 120/208 volt main distributionboard and provided a new 800 amp, 120/208 volt distribution panel to serve the addition. Pendant mounted fluorescentcylinders provide lighting of the parish hall. All other spaces in the addition were provided with energy efficient fluorescentlighting. The lighting in all areas is controlled by a low voltage control system to comply with energy code requirements. Anew fire alarm system with voice messages was provided to serve the addition and the existing church.
