First Baptist of Alexandria 2932 King Street, Alexandria, Virginia
ARCHITECT

This striking 40,000 square foot multipurpose addition project was awarded to Jack Bays, Inc. following a competitive bid process that included value engineering, necessary because of cost overruns.

We worked closely with the architect and the building committee to offer cost saving ideas that wouldn't affect the high level of finishes envisioned for this facility. Foundations consisted of over 70 drilled caissons with grade beams to allow construction on unstable soils. The building is steel framed with masonry veneer and includes extensive use of precast architectural shapes, elaborate wood cornice and synthetic slate shingles, all to match the older existing chapel.
