Letter from the editor

Jeanne Huff, Special Sections Editor

For 10 years the IBR has recognized Idahos Top Projects using a
very rudimentary metric: the projects that cost the most were award
winners. It was a simple method, but not the most fair. After all, while
every construction project has a starting and ending date and final
cost, each project has a bigger story to tell.
So this year, for the first time, and with the help of a dozen industry
experts, the IBR is recognizing Idahos Top Projects for their scope
of work, adherence to timelines and budgets, design and innovation,
overcoming obstacles and challenges, and overall quality.
The selection committee painstakingly reviewed our 38 finalists.
The scores were tabulated and averaged. The project with the highest
score over all the others is the 2015 Top Project of the Year. The other
top scoring projects are first, second and third place winners in three
categories private, public and infrastructure/transportation. The
selection committee also awarded a number of honorable mentions
and finalists.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to present to you: IBRs Top
Projects for 2015.

The long and winding road


By Jeanne Huff

Under budget and


right on time, the
Idaho Highway
16 extension was
open to the traffic
a mere seven years
after the start of
the environmental
analayis, a true feat
compared to similar
projects taking
upwards of 20 years.

IDAHOS 2015 TOP PROJECTS


Top Project of the Year
Highway 16 Extension

6 | 2015 Idaho Top Projects

Idaho Business Review

Driving a road project that


included: more than 1.5 million
pounds of rebar, 36.6 million pounds
of concrete, 2.5 miles of new fourlane, high-speed state highway and
new alignment, nine new bridge
structures, two miles of reconstructed highway a mile each on two
separate ones, several signalized
intersections, four miles of new
local roads, two miles of new private
roads, floodplain and wetland mitigation, and right-of-way acquisition
for 82 parcels, was, to say the least, a
real challenge.
But the team that took it on
Concrete Placing Company, Idaho
Sand and Gravel, Asbestos Abatement Inc. and Parametrix Engineers was up for it, and the Idaho
Department of Transportation is

glad they were. It is an important


project that exemplifies the ITDs
mission to improve safety, mobility
and economic opportunity.
As western Ada, eastern Canyon
and southern Gem counties develop,
the ability to move north-south traffic is a primary concern, said Amy
Schroeder, ITDs District 3 engineering manager and former GARVEE
program manager. The project will
provide another vital north-south
link in the Treasure Valley as the
population continues to grow. The
key to success on this $39 million
construction project was diligent
project management and a team

committed to delivering it ahead of


schedule and under budget.
Bridging the Gaps
The project is the first phase
of the SH-16 Corridor Study that
will ultimately provide a 21.5-mile
regional connection between Interstate 84 and Emmett. It extends
Idaho Highway 16 from Idaho Highway 44 (State Street) south to U.S.
Highway 20/26 (Chinden Boulevard).
Of the nine bridge structures, one
that was particularly challenging:
an 11-span, 1,730-foot-long, 88-footwide bridge over the Boise River
that included a complicated crossing
of a 50 foot vertical drop to the Boise
River floodplain.
This was the first new Boise River crossing in western Ada County
in 20 years.
To minimize impacts to the Boise
River and the floodplain, the new
highway corridor was carefully sited.
And it had to be more than 1,700
feet long in order to span the entire
mapped floodway. The low-set profile
helped minimize visual impacts and
helped the highway blend in with the
surrounding environment. Struc-

tures at Joplin Road and the Phyllis


Canal were creatively designed and
sited to avoid placing piers and piles
in the canal bank and bench slope
areas to avoid impacts. Water quality
was also a significant issue with high
groundwater, multiple irrigation
crossings, the south slough, and the
Boise River, all present in the project
area. To ensure that roadway runoff
would be contained, properly treated,
and separated from other water
resources, designers incorporated a
series of stormwater collection and
treatment facilities.
Minding the Future
Construction was also phased to
protect wildlife and minimize impacts
to wetlands and riparian habitats. That
included working around irrigation
season, the Boise Rivers high flows,
migratory bird nesting, and Great Blue
Heron courtship and nesting times.
And, in order to comply with
agency requirements, innovations
to some design elements were made.
For example, hydraulic mitigation was used to place piers in the
Boise River floodway in order to
meet FEMA no-rise requirements.

Re-grading a portion of the floodway


provided the necessary conveyance
to satisfy FEMA requirements; however, long-term maintenance was a
concern since ITD would have been
required to survey the re-graded site
after major flood events to determine if deposited silt would need
to be removed. The design team developed a cost-effective solution by
lining the re-graded area with black
basalt rock. That gives both ITD and
regulatory agencies an easy way to
visually determine if silt removal is
required. And, if so, maintenance
staff can simply remove it to the

More Roads, Trust, Safety


And Cows
Construction began in May 2011,
and because this was an entirely new
roadway, contractors faced some
unique challenges. Construction
access roads had to be built to gain
access to the Boise River Bridge location. A 5,000-foot-long gravel access
road was added on the south side, and
a 1,500-foot-long access road was added on the north side of the Boise River. In addition to typical construction
equipment access, the access roads
also had to be designed and constructed to accommodate delivery of the 121
girders that were over 150 feet long.
This required large radius curves
and an increased road ballast section
that would not typically be used for
construction access. The majority of
the access roads were left in place to
provide permanent access for maintenance and for other agencies to use.
During construction, the design
team and contractors met monthly
with resource agencies, municipalities, and ITD to make sure the project was in compliance with the letter
and intent of all project permits.
The partnership created trust and
collaboration throughout construction and resulted in a project considered successful by all stakeholders,
said Doug Camenish, vice president
of Parametrix and project manager
for the project. It was a lot of work
but it was a lot of fun, too, he said.

rock layer without costly topographic site surveys.


Another unique feature of the
project is the design of the Phyllis
Canal crossing. The Phyllis Canal
is located near the top of the Boise
River Bench, a 50-foot vertical drop to
the Boise River floodplain. Constructing a standard bridge over the canal
would have required a pier on driven
piles in the middle of the bench slope.
To eliminate concerns about de-stabilizing the slope and impacting
the integrity of the canal from pile
driving, the design team developed
a non-invasive canal crossing. The
design used a voided slab with short
abutment walls on shallow spread
footings set within the canal channel. This eliminated impacts to the
canal bank and bench slope, and had
an added benefit of providing easy

access to the structure for the canal


company to remove floating debris as
part of its routine maintenance.

You dont get many like this in your


career. Everybody was focused on
the same goal: Lets get this done.
For everybody that was involved,
its our little baby, Camenish said.
Both general contractors had
stringent safety programs in place.
Safety was an issue on the project due
to the number of cranes and amount
of crane work that took place, and a
significant amount of work was done
elevated from the ground increasing
the risk of falls and of falling objects.
Because Idaho Highway 16 is a new
roadway, there was heavy equipment,
and haul trucks were in constant
motion. The risk of an accident was
mitigated, Camenish said, through
periodic safety audits, weekly scheduling and planning meetings, and
coordination of travel routes. And,
during the projects construction,
there were no lost-time accidents.
Another sticky wicket: an active cattle ranch that straddled the
corridor. During construction, access
had to be maintained for the cattle to
move back and forth; however, their
movements needed to be restricted
to not impact construction. Solution:
The team coordinated extensively
with the ranch owner to limit disturbing the cows, and the contractors
designated times so the cows could
move through the construction area.
Taking the High Road
In addition, with the Highway 16
Extensions increased north-south
capacity and connectivity congestion
has been reduced at every river crossing between Star and Boise. Commute
times are shorter, costs for transporting consumer goods, building
materials, and agricultural products
have been reduced, and emergency
vehicles have speedier response times.
The result: a shining example of
success achieved through teamwork.
This was a very challenging project
with many stakeholders to work
with, said Mike Greene, partner,
Thornton Oliver Keller, and Top
Projects review committee member.
Wayne Hammon, CEO for the Idaho
Associated General Contractors, and
another TP reviewer, agreed. (This
is) a wonderful project that is not
only impressive by itself but will have
a lasting impact on the state. Greene
and Hammon were 2015 IBR Top Projects review committee members.

Eighth and Main


Eighth and Main is a multipurpose,
Class A commercial office tower in the
heart of Boises thriving downtown.
Standing 323 feet tall at its highest
point, it is the tallest building in Idaho.
The tower provides more than
350,000 square feet of office, retail and
restaurant space, as well as reserved
private parking and connections to a
nearby parking garage on three levels.
The 18-story structure includes
plaza space on the second floor with a
large balcony on the sixth floor overlooking Eighth Street, and an onsite
health club.
The environmentally conscious
10 | 2015 Idaho Top Projects

designed building is seeking LEED


Silver certification. It was built with
recycled and recyclable materials,
reducing energy use and occupancy
costs for all tenants.
During construction, 81 percent of
the total trash generated was diverted
from the landfill, including wood waste,
metal scrap, and comingled cardboard.
The buildings design utilizes precast
concrete, glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) panels, granite, glass, and
exterior insulated finish system (EIFS)
for its exterior skin.
In addition to the core and shell,
ESI Construction completed tenant

improvements for several of the


leasing tenants, including Zions Bank
(58,000 square feet), Holland & Hart
(48,000 square feet), CTA Architects
and Engineers (19,000 square feet),
and Ruths Chris Steak House (9,000
square feet).
Construction of tenant spaces ran
concurrent to shell and core construction activities, allowing the ESI team
to maximize the labor workforce, and
allow for tenants to move into their
spaces when the building was opened.
One of the major challenges to the
project was the lack of laydown space
on the site due to its adjacency to
other buildings and major streets. All
materials had to be transferred to the
job site and immediately put in place
when ready for use. The implementation of a unitized curtain wall system
enabled a fast-track approach to the
project schedule.
The project filled the notorious
Boise hole that remained on this
site for over a decade when a previous
developers plans for another tower
fell through.
Capital City Development Corporation Executive Director John Brunelle
says the development of Eighth and
Main catalyzed several other downtown projects that began following
its completion, such as the new J.R.
Simplot corporate headquarters, City
Center Plaza, and several hotels that
are planned to be built.

12 | 2015 Idaho Top Projects

For the exterior, more than 30,000


square feet of rock was hand picked
and quarried from Melaleuca CEO
Frank VanderSloots personal ranch
in northern Utah. The atrium features
three skylights totaling 3,000 square
feet, providing natural light to three
levels. Two rock chimneys in the atrium stand 80 feet tall and 22 feet wide.
The building has a substantial amount
of detailed woodwork, includes 3.6
million pounds of structural steel,
234,000 square feet of carpet and tile,
1 million square feet of sheetrock and
1.3 million feet of electrical wire. It
has 40,000 square feet of unfinished
space for future growth.
It was built in an environmentally
responsible manner and the company
donated $2.3 million to a public improvement project that included a new
wastewater system with lift stations,
facilitating growth for miles.
The project was completed according to schedule and within budget.

Sage International School


Sage International School, a
Boise charter school, selected the
85,500-square-foot Parkcenter Mall site
for its K thru 12 Charter School. This
venture required a complete remodel
of the old mall to create a new, vibrant
elementary charter school. With
school starting in August, the project
timeline was tight. The project was
completed on time and under budget.
The transformation from a
shopping center to 26 classrooms, a
commons/lunch room, and adminis-

trative offices for grades 3 through 8


began with the demolition of 30,000
square feet of the 85,500-square-foot
mall. The remaining 55,500 square
feet is slated for upcoming renovation,
adding more classrooms, a possible
gym, and administrative offices so the
school can serve grades K-12.
Additionally the exterior was repainted and a new roof was installed.
Landscaping was redesigned and the
site was reconfigured with upgraded
sidewalks and paving to accommodate

school traffic flow. An abandoned


bank building was removed and the
site transformed into a playfield and
basketball court to serve the expanding campus.
Jobsite security and public safety
was a top priority. In order to complete the project on time all involved
worked as a team.
ABC News included the project in
a November 2014 feature on extreme
makeovers of vacant mall space in
the U.S.

North Pointe Apartments, Mixed Use Center


The project includes 322,428 square feet
of mixed-use student housing and commercial retail. It is comprised of 280,000
square feet of student housing with 154
units and 1,024 beds, and a 42,428-squarefoot amenity center including a retail food
court on the ground level, a below ground
fitness center, a clubhouse level, and a
large-group meeting room. The project
also includes a six-story post-tension parking structure. The buildings have timeless
architectural components and materials
which transition nicely and compliment
the comfortable interiors. This was all
done on a site that is just over 3 acres.
One challenge was in the required
acquisition of 14 separate land parcels.
The most significant challenge was

the restrictive nature of the site. The


space limitations required detailed and
strict coordination of every aspect of
the project including crane movement
and special on-time deliveries for most
materials. With no space for storage or
staging, every square inch available was
utilized. Because the project is adjacent to
campus, it also necessitated special coordination with the city to maintain access
and walkways for the high pedestrian
traffic throughout construction.
The project was designed so the
surrounding buildings would shield the
parking garage from street view. Also,
the team was able to save $1 million from
the original budget by implementing a
cost-saving garage construction plan.

Holland & Hart


Holland & Hart is one of the tenants of the Eighth and Main building
in downtown Boise. It contracted
with ESI to complete the buildout of
its Class A office space.
Featured in the workspace is a
stunning boardroom on the 17th
floor that has amazing views of the
valley, a conference center, and a
kitchen/prep area with an exterior
balcony. The offices have high-end
finishes, including millwork, wood
panels, marble, tile, stainless steel
and glass throughout.
These finishes required attention
to detail and exceptional craftsman-

ship, hands-on supervision, and


frequent coordination and communication with each subcontractor. All
of the work was done at a fast pace.
In addition, a delayed design and
permitting process condensed the
construction schedule, putting additional pressure on the project team
and subcontractors to get the work
done on time. Ultimately, through
careful planning, constant communication, and attention to detail, the
project team, subcontractors, and
superior craftworkers pulled together and completed the high-quality
work on time.

This first floor space in the Eighth
and Main building features a modern decor, main dining room, stylish
bar and three private dining spaces.
This tenant improvement consisted of 8,040 square feet including a
full-service commercial kitchen,
Class A bar/lounge, and high quality
finishes throughout the space to
create a fine dining atmosphere.
The project scope included interior
partitions and assortment of architectural ceiling configurations, high
end millwork, wood paneling, and
built-in seating booths, bar/lounge,
glass enclosed walk-in wine case,
exceptional floor and wall finishes,
feature lighting and all other associated trades and finishes.
ESI implemented trade flow sequencing, significant planning, and

coordination of efforts that allowed


multiple trades to work concurrently
throughout the building, and work
got done as scheduled.
The building is in the heart of
downtown so disruption had to be
minimized. Inside, the limited floorto-ceiling height required extensive
coordination with MEP trades for
overhead construction and the installation of mechanical, plumbing,
and electrical infrastructure for the
restaurant and commercial kitchen.
This overhead space also required
coordination with the tenant on the
2nd floor above, for the underslab
plumbing installation. The kitchen exhaust hood, grease duct, and
refrigeration rack for the walk-in
cooler/freezer were challenging due
to size and access requirements.

Involta Victory View Datacenter

16 | 2015 Idaho Top Projects

The work was completed safely.


The project was commissioned by
the owner and met with satisfaction
from the anchor customer.
Building a world-class datacenter
is a challenge in that the design and
construction are unusual in comparison to other projects. Obstacles were
numerous, but worked through in
weekly project meetings.
Budget was tight, but achieved.
Schedule milestones were met.
Weekly project review meetings
worked through budget and schedule issues.

The datacenter is performing at


a level that exceeds design criteria
and customer expectations. Workers
were proud of their work and subjected their workmanship to commissioning review.
The paramount concern throughout the project was the safety and
well-being for workers. The general
contractor shall set the tone for
safe work practices with pre-job
briefings, oversight, tracking and
reporting. Zero Lost Time Accidents
and no OSHA Recordable Injuries
were project objective and goals.

Dedicated to serving and supporting


the construction industry

University of Idaho Reveley Classroom Building

The program for the new building was simple: a classroom for 30+
students and lecturer, (3) offices, a flex
space or social space with kitchenette,
restrooms, a seasonal sales office for
public outreach, and an exterior deck
for student and public gatherings.
Initial site visits at the University
of Idaho Pitkin Nursery revealed hoop
houses, metal sheds and stacks of
planter boxes. Beginning with the idea
of a wood box floating on the undulating sea of the Palouse, the design team
set out to stitch together the program,
landscape and the materiality of Idaho
forest products. The college wanted to
extend their public outreach in addition to nursery research functions.
The outstretched ramps and decks
reach out to the landscape and invite
the public and students to the building.
The sales office was pulled through the
wood screen as a way to express itself
beyond the functions of classroom,
18 | 2015 Idaho Top Projects

offices, and social gathering. The


weathering cedar wood screen that
stands off the building was imagined
as a modern western storefront.
The repetition of stacked boxes
was an intriguing design element,
envisioned as the piece that expressed
the transition from working nursery
to classroom. The cedar wood screen
is the threshold element for faculty
and students to step through the gap
between the two elements wood
screen and black box.
Knowing that the college would
be reaching out to industry partners
for material donations prior to the
documentation of the building, the
design team assisted in providing a
shopping list of building materials. As
a result, the team worked closely with
the college during the documentation
and detailing process. At times, the
acquired materials, and the need to
move forward with detailing, did not
coincide. In a few instances a sourced
material was unavailable from a supplier and the details had to be revised
to reflect the available materials.
Working in collaboration with
Idaho wood industry partners that
make and develop products such as
dimensional framing lumber, cedar
siding, engineered I-joists and glulam beams, the design team wanted

to express those material attributes


throughout. Every stick of lumber,
every leaf of veneer came from a
median distance of 59 miles from
the project site. Meeting and working with industry professionals and
craftsmen gave the team firsthand
knowledge of each products properties, which informed the best location
and presentation for those products.
From the start, the college knew
that it was going to have to get creative
with the budget to make the project a
reality in the available time frame. The
college had limited financial resources but strong industry connections
and support. Eventually, the projects
budget was made possible by generous
donations from private individuals and
material donations from a long list of
industry partners and associations.
The success of this unique project
required extending the studio approach to all team members including
industry partners, university staff,
and alumni craftsmen. Donated materials consisted entirely of Idaho forest
products. Design revisions and new
approaches were made during documentation and construction to adapt
to what materials were available. A
constant dialogue defined a different
type of integrated design, each result
better for the process.

Canyon County Administration Building


The new Canyon County Administration Building (CCAB) consists
of a three-story, 50,000-square-foot
office. The overall budget and cost
for the project was $6.5 million and
took just under nine months to
complete, with completion on June
1st, 2014. This was a design-build
project with a firm fixed price. ESI
was tasked with designing and
constructing a facility with multiple
stakeholders who all had unique
and critical components to be implemented into the project.
The facility was constructed on
a tight site in a busy urban setting
immediately adjacent to a fully operational courthouse and jail facility
and required close coordination
with the surrounding facilities to
avoid disrupting operations.
The timing of the construction
start in autumn drove many of
the cost-saving actions. The entire
project team (contractor, designers,
subcontractors and owner) spent
significant time collaboratively
evaluating the quality, schedule
and budget concerns of constructing during the winter months and
developed a list of the concerns and
specific actions. Talking through,
understanding the challenges at
hand, and prior planning were
instrumental in addressing these
issues ahead of time to prevent a
fire drill in the field.

East Fork Salmon River Bridges


The project consisted of constructing two new bridges over the Salmon
and East Fork Rivers on Idaho State
Highway 75 and constructing 0.82
miles of roadway on a new alignment
to allow use of the existing bridges
during construction. The new bridges were constructed using precast
girders, piers, abutments and deck
panels to accelerate construction.
Coffer cells were placed in the Salmon River to dewater for the installation of the cast in place pier footings
and precast piers. Restrictions were
placed on all in-water construction
activities and stringent turbidity
22 | 2015 Idaho Top Projects

and hydroacoustic monitoring was


performed to ensure the safety of the
fish and to minimize any environmental impacts. Upon completion
of the new bridges and roadway, the
existing bridges were removed.
The biggest challenge with this
project was constructing the pier
column footings in the Salmon River. The project had severe restrictions for all in-water work and in
order to pour the footings the team
first had to build two temporary
work bridges on each side of the
river for crane access. Utilizing the
work bridges two coffer dams using

sheet pile were constructed. For the


installation of the coffer dams the
team was not allowed to strike the
sheet piles with a hammer and they
all had to be installed using vibration. The subsurface of the river
bottom contained large boulders
that prevented the cells from being
driven down to depth. In order to get
the sheets driven down, the cell had
to be dewatered and a small excavator placed inside to remove the
boulders that were holding up the
sheet piles. This process was repeated several times until the necessary
depth was achieved.
Due to environmental constraints, the schedule required
the project to be constructed in a
single season. With the difficulties
experienced in the beginning of the
project while installing the coffer
dams, crews began working seven
days a week and up to 15 hours a
day to stay on track. By accelerating
the schedule the team was able to
keep the project on time to be able to
pave the roadway in October. Idaho
Transportation Department was
able to complete the project within
its budget due to a good partnering
relationship on the project.
The project was completed with
no quality deficiencies. Knife River
received quality bonuses for pavement smoothness, asphalt mix quality and aggregate road base quality.

Ada County Landfill Hydrogen


Sulfide Scrubber Project
This project is an essential safeguard to Ada Countys environment.
It helps prevent toxic landfill gas
from contaminating groundwater and
helps prevent serious odor problems
from occurring in communities that
surround the Ada County Landfill.
A hybrid scrubber system
proposed by SCS Engineers using
technology from MV Technologies
was selected as the best fit for the
Countys requirements. It consists

of six tanks full of a biologically


activated scavenge medium that
scrubs H2S from the landfill gas.
The scrubber includes a state-ofthe-art automatic control system.
A detailed health, safety, and environment plan covered all potential
safety and environmental issues
related to construction on an operating landfill.
One challenge was to complete
construction without interfering

with normal landfill operations. Another was designing the new scrubber so that it worked seamlessly
with its connections to the incoming
gas collection system, the downstream flares, and the downstream
landfill gas-to-energy generators.
There was no room for budget
changes once the project began. The
project was awarded as a lump sum
design-build contract and required
careful, constant communication
and coordination between the
county, SCS, and CH2M Hill. The
design-build approach allowed for a
fast-track schedule with SCS delivering on parallel paths, completing
design and construction for basic
site features, such as pads, foundations, and utility tie-ins, while the
equipment subcontractor, MV Technologies, completed detailed design
of the scrubber components. An
almost finished site was then ready
for the scrubber tanks when they
were delivered, requiring only final
connection of piping and electrical
systems. The project was completed
on time and on budget.

Web-based monitoring and control
unit at each of the four lift stations to
provide alarms and lift station operations data to city staff.
Safety was carefully planned into
each work activity and discussed

prior to beginning each feature of


work. RSCI conducted weekly site
walks and discussed corrective
items with crews at safety meeting.
Safety snapshots were submitted
by crew members to document positive behaviors, and those were presented by job managers to recognize
individuals for safety contributions
at quarterly barbeques hosted for
the job team.
Weekly progress meetings were
held with all stakeholders to plan
upcoming work.
Overhead power, deep excavations, and phasing of new structures within an existing facility are
among the many access challenges
for nearly every feature of work.
New buildings were constructed
near the clearance limits of existing
high-voltage power lines and in one
case, RSCI implemented work hour
restrictions to avoid static fields
from the power lines during peak
energy-use hours.
This major upgrade to the plants
wastewater processes included
complex cast-in-place concrete
foundations that required an intense

C.J. Strike Bridge of Elmore County


The C.J. Strike Bridge near
Grandview is a 565-foot pre-stressed,
pre-cast, concrete-panel bridge with
22 individual spans. The substructure
has concrete abutments and 21 steel
bents. RSCI self-performed 95 percent
of the project including launching
precast panels, post-tensioning,
grouting, fabrication and installation
of structural steel reinforcements.
Subcontractors installed a three-tube
rail system and epoxy overlay.
The biggest challenge was the
complete closure of the bridge for
four months; the schedule was driven by the contractual closure dates,
no room for error.
The next obstacle was the exist-

ing structure, which was meant to


be temporary for the construction
of the C.J. Strike Dam. Protection
of the Snake River ecosystem was
paramount; great care was taken to
prevent debris from entering the water and to protect the swallows that
nest on the bridge.
Per the contract, the contractor
only had four months to close the
bridge and perform all work required. RSCI worked to complete the
bridge and meet the owners milestone of four months. The budget
was tight, and in the end, a little
higher than the original one.
The owner was very pleased with
RSCIs performance.

D.L. Evans Bank


The D.L. Evans bank project involved
a new 4,646-square-foot branch bank
constructed in an effort to better serve
customers geographically.
The site is a pad development
within a new retail shopping center.
Site development and grading had the
challenge of tying into existing drives
and grades while maintaining storm
drainage onsite.
Due to significant utility infrastructure
within landscape buffers along major
roadways, and the relatively small site,
underground infiltration systems were
utilized for storm drainage. The site
constraints of the surrounding retail
center provided only a small staging
area for construction, which had to be

carefully managed by the contractor.


The project did not experience any
schedule delays or budget constraints and
was delivered on time and on budget.
The building design is a traditional
bank building that incorporates
contemporary elements on both the
exterior and interior. The design team
drew on several renovations and
prototype branches previously completed
for the bank, to facilitate this design
style. Interior design elements include
cloud ceilings and canopies suspended
below exposed glulam beams, as well
as modern finishes, paint colors, and
contemporary light fixtures. Exterior design
elements included use of brick, stone
veneer, and stucco.

Depot Lofts
The Depot Lofts consist of two threestory apartment buildings. The 12-plex
apartment units provide a total of 24
apartments, plus one 6-bay garage unit
and 4 carport structures. Located near
the Old Boise Train Depot, just blocks
away from downtown Boise, the one and
two bedroom apartments attract young
working professionals and the occasional
BSU student.
The lofts were built with modern
design and energy efficiency in mind.
Energy Star construction provides
large low E windows, all electric high
efficiency heat pumps, and energy
efficient insulation. Quality finishes
include 9-foot ceilings on lower units

and vaulted ceilings on upper units,


granite kitchen counter tops, tile
backsplashes, walk-in closets, large
private walk-out patios, brushed nickel
finishes and wood cabinets.
The biggest challenge that this project
faced was the site itself. The complex
does not have street access to Vista
Avenue, despite the lot being adjacent to
the road. Architect and owner, John Price,
held meetings with residents to address
their concerns about traffic. In the end,
there was not much of a difference.
There were also utility easements
running through the 1-acre site, which
limited construction since you cant build
on top of them.

Grace Assisted Living


This 85 bed, 71,000-square-foot
facility was designed to provide a caring,
warm environment for seniors. Creating
spaces that are inviting is challenging
in such a large facility, so care was
taken to create opportunities for various
areas in the building to have their own
identities. This helps with wayfinding

and with making the very large building


appear more of a residential scale to the
residents. The large dining area faces
north toward an outdoor plaza and the
busy roadway beyond, allowing residents
the opportunity to sit inside in the
daylight, and to be drawn out to get some
fresh air by the fountain.

HD Fowler Company
This project was a new construction
office and warehouse for H.D. Fowler
Company, a utility piping reseller. The
project included a 9,600-square-foot
metal building warehouse attached to a
two-story 7,000-square-foot administration
building. The administration building
was constructed out of CMU block and
has decorative steel shading devices on
the east side of the structure. A steel
canopy adorns the east faade of the
administration building, framing the
entrance and acting as a way finder for
customers, directing them to the lobby.
The site design includes a 6-foot tall
honed faced CMU wall that will act as a
fence on the north side of the property.

Lighted signage was used to decorate


a portion of the CMU fence. Two large
24-foot wide gates were added to the
north CMU fence and were used to secure
the facility after hours. All street facing
entrances to the property are landscaped
and well maintained. Two cul de sacs are
located on the site on both the north and
southeast sides of the property. The cul de
sacs are connected via an interior driveway
that is enclosed inside the property.
Another 24-foot wide fence secures the
southeast portion site.
The project was delivered by a
design-build process with Petra and Cole
Architects as a team to deliver the building
on time and within budget.

College of Idaho athletics, classroom space,
trainers facilities and coaches offices were
also programmed into the new facility.
The football team needed to be fully

moved in to the facility well before the


beginning of the 2014 season. In addition, designing a state-of-the-art facility
for a rejuvenated football program was a
challenge. The College of Idaho football
team entered into one of the most elite
conferences in the NAIA. Having a facility
that encouraged the progress and success
of its athletes was apparent. Lastly, added

Northwest Nazarene University Library


and Learning Commons
This facility marks a different shift
in architectural character on the NNU
campus to one that is characterized with
a western Romanesque vernacular. Open,
airy spaces provide ample natural light and
views to the campus and set a tone of
vibrancy utilizing flexible-use, contemporary
furniture to accommodate an array of
student needs.
This project involved the complete
remodel and re-purposing of the
existing 22,000 square foot Riley Library
building along with a 35,000 square foot

Learning Commons building expansion.


The specific challenges to this project
involved the transformation of the existing
library building into an inviting gateway
structure at the northern entrance of
the campus. The vision of this unique
building project was to equip the university
with a technology-rich, flexible learning
environment that also serves as a central
gateway to the university campus. The
buildings arched entries on the north

L.A. Thomas Gymnasium Renovation


Construction of the L.A. Thomas Gym
was funded by New Deal Work Projects
Administration (WPA) dollars, but the
project stalled when its builders left for
World War II. The gym has been in use
since 1942, though it never received an
originally intended stucco finish. Rekindling
a relationship with the City of Kimberly and
its school district, CTA was tasked with finally
completing the buildings exterior, creating
an entry with more public presence, and
adding ADA-accessible restrooms.
CTA designers vetted many options

for matching the historical nature of


the building, concluding a transparent
modern addition was ideal. A stucco
exterior was applied, and a new glasslined entryway shines daylight onto
an exterior-turned-interior concrete
wall, envisioned as a future gallery for
historical facility photographs. The original,
recognizable character of the building
remains visible just inside the entry, the
gym is now more inviting and accessible,
and the project was completed on time
and under a strict budget.
