Conservatory Craftsmen Hired to Restore Splendor to Capitol Hill’s Old Naval Hospital

Author: Conservatory Craftsmen
Dateline: Washington, District of Columbia (WASHINGTON D.C.)  | Mon, 21 Nov 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Conservatory Craftsmen is honored to have been chosen to work on the Hill Center project with Bell Architects to restore the Old Naval Hospital on Capitol Hill.”



A R T I C L E:

Conservatory Craftsmen is honored to have been chosen to work on the Hill Center project with Bell Architects to restore the Old Naval Hospital on Capitol Hill.

"The Old Naval Hospital had fallen into a state of disrepair," says Jim Hewitt of Conservatory Craftsmen. "Once considered one of the most valuable assets on the Hill, the building had become one of the district's most endangered historic places."

As a result, in 2000, a group of concerned Hill residents banded together to save the Old Naval Hospital and restore it to its original splendor. Working with Bell Architects, a restoration plan was adopted that would completely restore the building along with the grounds and carriage house.

Bell Architects had worked with conservatory historian and craftsman, Hewitt, on previous projects and was familiar with his penchant for authenticity. So, he was called in to join forces on the project.

"Jim is a true, old-school conservatory craftsman who understands the history of conservatories and their design periods," says T. David Bell. "His ability to grasp the design nuances of this restoration was never in doubt."

Completed in 1866, the Old Naval Hospital was a 50-bed facility designed to serve seamen serving on the Potomac River and its tributaries. Later, it would serve many purposes such as a Hospital Corp Training Center and an Old Soldiers Home. By 1998, the main building stood vacant, while the carriage house was rented as an administrative office.

Redesigning a conservatory for the carriage house at the old naval hospital is a great honor for Hewitt and his crew.

"Using our knowledge of conservatory history and design is what we live for," explains Hewitt. "While other companies have gone the route of cheap kits and materials, we've stayed true to the art of building authentic conservatories and it's nice to be recognized for that craft."

Conservatory Craftsmen was given access to archived photos of the original conservatory. From those visuals and evidence of the original structure left behind on the carriage house, they designed an authentic, modern era conservatory that brings back its original charm with the incorporation of modern, practical features such as low E tempered glass for insulation and safety.

"It's an honor to be called in on a historic project like the Hill Center," says Hewitt. "Being able to play a small part in the mission of the Hill Center is a dream. This place will be a historical hub to educate and draw people together."

Continuous Training Makes Union Ironworkers the Trusted Source for Quality Architectural and Ornamental Work

Author: Iron Workers Union
Dateline: Austin, Texas (AUSTIN, Texas)  | Mon, 24 Oct 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “The Iron Workers International Union, teaming with the Ironworker Management Progressive Action Cooperative Trust (IMPACT), released a series of new architectural and ornamental training modules designed to replicate real-world assembly and installation challenges ironworkers face on jobsites.”



A R T I C L E:

The Iron Workers International Union (www.ironworkers.org), teaming with the Ironworker Management Progressive Action Cooperative Trust (IMPACT), released a series of new architectural and ornamental training modules designed to replicate real-world assembly and installation challenges ironworkers face on jobsites. Currently, IMPACT Region VI has four new architectural and ornamental mockups in use at training locations in Houston, Arlington, San Antonio and Oklahoma City, one of which will be moved to the New Orleans training facility at the end of October.

Each 9 foot x 9 foot module arrived in a wooden crate and contains five window frames, one door frame, a parts list and a blueprint. During the training sessions, students unpack the pieces and use the blueprint to erect the windows and doorframe inside a steel structure.

"Our new mockup materials provide resources to make sure our ironworkers are the safest and most effective ironworkers out there," said Eric Dean, General Secretary of the International Ironworkers Union. "These hands-on models help illustrate challenges and nuances of architectural and ornamental ironworking that are often difficult to convey on paper."

The new architectural and ornamental modules will be in use periodically during training sessions that began in September and will run through May 2012. Every year, over 200 hours of training is conducted in each apprenticeship program. Each training program also includes journeymen upgrading classes.

Training on the new modules prepares Union ironworkers for real jobsites, according to Greg Schulze, Apprenticeship and Training Coordinator for the Iron Workers Union in Texas.

"The classrooms are a non-stressful environment where the students can learn the correct way to do the work and build confidence in their abilities," Schulze said. "Having the ironworkers properly trained makes them more efficient and cost effective for the contractor. I hear from the contractors that the training is working because of all the qualified help they're getting in the field."

Permasteelisa North America (www.permasteelisagroup.com) is a leading, worldwide contractor that partnered solely with Union ironworkers on one of their largest jobs to-date, the Devon Energy Corporation building. The Devon Tower, currently under construction, will impressively be the tallest building in the state of Oklahoma.

"Anyone familiar with this business knows that the avenue to success is to employ Union ironworkers," says James Jutson, Field Operations Manager for Permasteelisa North America. "They are qualified to start work the moment they enter the site. They provide a trained workforce schooled in the techniques of rigging, welding and safety." Regarding the ornamental and architectural aspects of iron working, Jutson went on to say, "It is extremely important that they understand that every piece of material is a finished product and cannot be treated like a piece of raw steel."

General Secretary Dean says he's pleased that they are already getting such a positive response to their "game-changing style of Ironworker education and training." Especially in Texas and the Mid-South States, journeymen at local unions are well on their way to experimenting with new techniques from the ironworkers training & education programs.

The Iron Workers Union listens carefully to its contractors and adapts its training programs to meet real-world needs on jobsites. "Several times a year we meet with the contractors to get feedback about our ironworkers in the field," said Randy Palumbo, Apprenticeship and Training Coordinator for Iron Workers Local 48 in Oklahoma City, (www.ironworkers48.org). "They tell us what they would like taught more in our classes, or taught less, and we build our programs accordingly."

Palumbo believes investments in training programs made by the Iron Workers Union, Signatory Contractors and IMPACT result in reduced costs & high-quality construction for contractors who employ Union ironworkers.

The Iron Workers Union holds a week-long Instructor Training Program every summer to update their instructors with the latest training and installation techniques. Ornamental and architectural classes have been part of this annual program since its inception 27 years ago. The annual instructor training is held in Ann Arbor, Michigan in mid-July.

Ornamental work entails installation of curtain wall and window wall systems that sheath buildings, exteriors of high-rise structures, interior finished elements, and exterior and interior surface systems.

Architectural and structural training programs help ironworkers learn to erect the complex steel structures that shape large-scale industrial, commercial and residential buildings and structures, and install pre-cast columns and panels.

About the Iron Workers Union:

The Iron Workers District Council of Texas and Mid-South States represents some 5,000 skilled union ironworkers who make up the area covered by IMPACT Region VI. These men and women help form the backbone of what the Iron Workers Union, its Signatory Contractor Associations, and IMPACT are doing to reinforce the construction industry's future. To learn more, visit http://www.ironworkerstxmidsouth.com .

About IMPACT:

IMPACT (www.impact-net.org) serves to unite union ironworkers and signatory contractors in partnerships to develop jobs in the United States and Canada. IMPACT programs help foster workplace excellence through customized project tracking, management training, and safety insurance. IMPACT is a joint labor-management, non-profit trust formed under Section 302(c) (9) of Labor-Management Relations (Taft-Hartley) Act.

Awards Recognize Two Very Distinct Projects.

WATERTOWN, Mass., Nov. 16 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Phoenix Construction Group, Inc. (PCGI), one of Boston's leading residential and commercial design/build firms, has been awarded two Gold PRISM Awards from the Builders Association of Greater Boston. The awards, which recognize housing industry professionals for excellence in building, design, sales and marketing, were presented to PCGI principals Dani Chedid and Karnig Ostayan at a gala ceremony on October 14, 2009.

Underlining the breadth of its expertise, PCGI's PRISM awards honor two distinct projects: the meticulous design/build of a moderately sized townhouse in Cambridge and the respectful conversion of an historic Watertown church and rectory into a high-end, multi-unit condo development.

"It's very gratifying to receive awards honoring two very different projects," says Ostayan. "This recognition underlines Phoenix's commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful, innovative design for all projects, regardless of type or size."

The first of PCGI's two PRISM awards is for Best Attached Home Under 1,500 Square Feet. The building is part of Maple Commons, a small grouping of homes designed and built by PCGI on the site of a former one story commercial plaza in Cambridge. Homes were constructed using only historical styles and colors, including a copper roof over the front watershed to match the downspouts. Interiors feature handsome floor plans with spacious, well-lit rooms, clean lines, and lots of space for family gathering and entertaining. Placement of the winning home and two others were carefully considered to create a charming community feeling.

PCGI's second Gold Award is for Best Conversion, recognizing Bell Tower Place, the nine-unit condominium development built within a landmark church and rectory in Watertown. The firm devoted tremendous time and energy to the painstaking restoration of the church's gothic exterior, while crafting an innovative yet respectful rethinking of its interior spaces. All Bell Tower residences feature original detailing and take advantage of the building's soaring ceilings and tall windows. Unit floor plans are elegant and dramatic, with flexible designs that accommodate both large gatherings and private moments. Every unit includes original detailing, including wooden doors, windows, and openings. This exceptional project has also received a 2008 Contractor of the Year Gold Award and a 2009 Environmental Preservation Award from the Town of Watertown's Historic Commission.

Phoenix Construction Group, Inc. is an award-winning design/build firm in Watertown, MA. The company was founded in 2003 to address the building needs of residential and commercial redevelopment projects by providing premium remodeling and restoration services, as well as expert advice on architecture, design, and construction.

Author: Tsoi/Kobus and Associates, Inc.
Dateline: Tue, 06 Oct 2009

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Tsoi/Kobus & Associates received a Special Mention award at the American Institute of Architects New England Chapter's 2009 Design Awards on Saturday, October 3 for its design of the Center for Life Science | Boston, the first speculative, privately-owned, high-rise, multi-tenant laboratory building in the United States. Among 271 entries submitted, 18 received recognition.”

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 6 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Tsoi/Kobus & Associates received a Special Mention award at the American Institute of Architects New England Chapter's 2009 Design Awards on Saturday, October 3 for its design of the Center for Life Science | Boston, the first speculative, privately-owned, high-rise, multi-tenant laboratory building in the United States. Among 271 entries submitted, 18 received recognition.

In selecting the Center for Life Science | Boston, jurors praised its "sophisticated planar interplay of large volumes and materials" and "the wonderful play of mass and light at night [that] gives some indication of experiential variety within."

"It's particularly gratifying to receive this award from our peers in New England," says Tsoi/Kobus & Associates Senior Principal Rick Kobus, FAIA, FACHA. "Science and technology is a signature industry in our region and a primary focus of our firm, so it was an exciting challenge for us to design a new building type that anticipates the future needs of this sector."

The Center for Life Science | Boston provides flexible, cutting-edge research space for some of the world's premier academic and medical institutions, including Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Children's Hospital Boston, and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The 777,600-square-foot building occupies a tightly constrained urban site in the heart of Boston's Longwood Medical Area and optimizes its unusual site configuration by varying floor size as the building rises. Massing components were conceived as interlocking volumes and were inspired by the progressive, analytical nature of the research process. The dynamic facade features varying degrees of transparency and offers an interplay of tilting planes, curves, and cantilevered volumes aspiring upward and evoking the optimism and challenge of the research taking place within.

Interior solutions accommodate a full range of tenant needs, including innovative flexibility features such as utility zoning and metering as well as accessible shafts to accommodate and anticipate unknown tenants and changing research needs.

The project achieved LEED-Gold certification.
