St.
Joseph Catholic Church
520 S. Garfield
Kennewick, WA
Project
Description
Located
in the heart of Kennewick, St. Joseph's Catholic Church adds a great
look to the community. The impressive high ceilings with gorgeous
exposed glue-laminated trusses make this a show place compared to any
building in the Tri-Cities area. The main portion of the church is
approximate 17,000 SF and the multi-purpose room located on the backside
is about 12,000 SF. This project was very challenging to build due to
the height of the 62' roof structure, and the different angles, curves
and slopes of the building. It was constructed of wood wall framing,
wood truss roof framing, CMU structural shear walls, and the
multi-purpose room is pre-engineered metal building. The striking image
of the 24ft cross, and the large lighted parking area, fully landscaped,
makes this a beautifully finished project. Chervenell Construction
Company was presented with "The Project of the Year" award, by the
Tri-City Construction Council for this project in 2002.
