Churches & Religious Facilities
Alamance Presbyterian Church
This project included the construction of a new three-story, 3,500 square-foot connector building sandwiched between the Brown Hall building, the main drop off parking lot for daycare and church and the Administration Building. A new elevator was included in the Connector Building. The renovation portion of the project included gut and restoration of the 10,000 square-foot three-story Administration building. The project required close communication with the church and daycare staff as both the front and the back of the Brown Building continued to function as a child daycare facility during the entire construction process. The administration building was adjacent to the Sanctuary and the parking as noted. At the rear of the project was the existing church cemetery, and work was coordinated to be respectful during funerals. The cemetery had to be kept clean from construction debris at all times. Additionally, the project required us to underpin the footings of the Administration Building for the construction of the new Connector. The renovation included new classrooms, bathrooms and a small serving kitchen and significant waterproofing to address existing water problems in the lower level of the Administration building.

| I am pleased in looking back over my 22 years at Wake Forest to see how important Frank L. Blum Construction Company has been for us. Whenever the job is especially difficult and time intensive, both I and my Director of Facilities, Bill Sides, turn to your firm.
Examples of your excellent work abound; the gatehouses which protect the campus at night, which were done on an extremely tight time schedule; Kirby Wing of Calloway Center, perhaps our most beautiful new space; and the new and renovated Pit, which was delivered 2 1/2 weeks early and under budget. The amount your firm saved us on the Kirby Wing was sufficient to finish all of the planned-to-be-vacant space in the basement! Of course, your signature building is the Mary and Charlie Babcock Wing at Reynolda House, a superb structure built on schedule and on budget. It is a magnificant addition to the museum.
You and your people have exhibited the kind of professional, competent, and helpful spirit a client would want. I can and do recommend you most highly and without reservation. |
