A new-construction facility designed to LEED Gold standards is home to Village Church’s food pantry, clothes closet and second ministry campus. The building was constructed on an existing grade school site, requiring asbestos abatement and full demolition of the two-story school before construction could begin.
The facility incorporates a range of sustainable systems and strategies, including a ground-source heat pump, a rooftop solar array, a glue-laminated wood frame, reflective roofing, and passive solar daylighting. Existing groundwater drainage challenges on the site and in surrounding areas were resolved through new building placement, regrading, and stormwater management improvements. The completed project also includes new public sidewalks, play areas, and loading docks with covered canopies to support delivery vehicles and volunteer services.
“Since no one on our church staff had experience in constructing a ‘green building,’ we were grateful for your patient guidance throughout the building process. Your helpful suggestions and architectural expertise saved us both time and financial resources and ensured that the project was completed on schedule and on budget.”
