Calvary Chapel

Sitting atop 53 acres next to Chip Ross Park in north Corvallis, the Calvary Chapel building was a new facility for the church who had been meeting in various school cafeterias and gyms for over 10 years. This design-build project consisted of a pre-engineered metal building with part of the building on grade and the other part supported by structural steel columns and a 15-foot-tall concrete retaining wall. Large clearspans, canopies, and wide roof overhangs were utilized to maximize building shade, as well as an energy saver roof insulation system with a high R-value to help minimize energy costs. This project won a Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) Award.
