Description

Zubaida Foundation’s new building includes a large prayer hall, mezzanine level prayer space, flexible classrooms, a library, new bathrooms, and an elevator. What started out as an addition/renovation quickly became a new construction project once the owner realized that the original “A-frame” structure wasn’t worth keeping. GHS quickly value engineered the new design to keep the project on track and within budget. The wood-framed structure included roof truss framing, custom glass, and high-end finishes which include custom-made wood doors that took months to procure. GHS achieved substantial completion within 10 months despite encountering numerous issues such as hitting existing rock while excavating and unforeseen conditions.
