Total Project Cost: $5,600,000  Project Size: 44,000 square feet

This project is a 2-story multi-purpose church facility with a sanctuary, gymnasium and classrooms.  It is structured with a combination of a pre-engineered steel building frame (roof) and conventional steel frame (second floor).  The first floor is a conventional slab on grade and the structure is founded on shallow spread footings.

Phase I - This project consists of a sanctuary located on the first floor above a basement with classrooms.  The primary structure is a steel frame located at the perimeter which supports pre-engineered metal plate connected scissor trusses that form the roof.  The first floor structure is a concrete slab on composite steel decking supported by composite steel beams.  The floor system is supported by interior steel columns and concrete foundation walls at the perimeter.  The structure is founded on concrete spread footings.

Total Project Cost: $1,600,000 Project Size: 18,000 square feet

The structure consists of load-bearing concrete masonry walls which support pre-engineered wood roof trusses and precast pre-stressed hollow core concrete planks for the second floor.  The structure bears on concrete spread footings on soil.

 

The project consisted of a two-story facility including sanctuary and classrooms.  The structure consists of steel joist floor framing and wood trusses at the roof bearing on the masonry walls.  The masonry walls are of autoclaved aerated concrete masonry, a product new to markets in the United States , but common overseas.  This facility was only the second building in Central Kentucky to use the system, which offers exceptional fire resistance, noise transfer, and thermal insulation characteristics.  The lateral bracing system utilizes the reinforced masonry as shear walls.  The structure is founded on reinforced concrete spread footings on soil.
