Welcome to Expansion News – the source for updates on our building project!
We are excited to introduce our selected architect – Rodwin Architecture. Scott Rodwin, the firm’s CEO, has been a leader in sustainable, environmentally conscious designs for over 25 years. He is a well-known expert who teaches professional architects how to design sustainable, eco-friendly buildings.
Our Building and Design Team conducted an extensive search that began with 29 local firms. They selected Rodwin Architecture due to their many talents and years of experience. The team was especially impressed with the following:
* Their designs are functional, sustainable, cost-effective and environmentally appropriate.
* They use a Build to Design Integration with the selected building contractor to provide seamless communication. This results in better cost management throughout the project.
* They propose a phased approach, allowing for changing budgets or requirements.
* They support diverse groups and work to plan the transition in and out of spaces. Rodwin’s project team have all chosen to be part of UUCB’s Expansion Project and will bring enthusiasm and commitment along with their expertise.
Working with our own Expansion Project Team, Rodwin’s team will conduct two creative Visioning sessions with our congregation for input on our needs and wishes for the expansion to accommodate the many groups at UUCB.
