40,279 SF Remodel and expansion of Zion Lutheran Church including classrooms, offices, state licensed preschool, gathering and fellowship spaces and Sanctuary.  Power, lighting and fire alarm design were provided.  Special attention to Relighting of existing sanctuary to increase light level and reduce maintenance and energy cost. 

First Wesleyan Church needed a new auditorium for their growing church.  The new auditorium is connected to their existing administration and children's programs building. Project included upgrading the electrical service to provide power not only for the new auditorium but for the growth of their children's programs.  The new auditorium includes a large gathering corridor which connects to the existing cafe, A/V edit suites, restrooms, green room and other adjoining rooms.  The existing lighting control system and fire alarm system was replaced with new systems.

Goss/Pasma Blomquist Architects contracted with Lynn Surdock first at Design Plus and then moved with her to WPF Engineering.  This project was an addition of a 6500 seat auditorium and associated sound/video editing spaces, gym, dining space, lobby, gathering spaces and classrooms.  The gym was completed in phase two of the project.  The Dining space is not yet finished out.

Project required close coordination with A/V contractor for the auditorium and video/sound editing spaces.  Project was followed through CA phase.

WPF Engineering was hired by Jeffrey Parker Architects, for electrical and lighting design.  This was a 12,000 SF addition and 8,500 SF renovation to what was an existing high school.  We transformed this school building into a functional space which includes a kitchen, café, large commons space for large events and gathering, green room, preschool rooms and other classrooms.  On the second floor adult classrooms and additional gathering space was provided overlooking the commons space below.   Beta Calco’s decorative lighting was utilized in the two story church commons space.  

The existing electrical service was relocated to the other side of the building requiring refeeding the entire facility.  The fire alarm system was replaced.
