Corn Hill Emergency Services Station
On January 29, 2010, a ribbon cutting ceremony took place at the completed Corn Hill Emergency Services Station located in Jarrell, Texas. The 11,555-square-foot building houses the Williamson County EMS, Sheriff’s Substation and the Jarrell Fire Department. Designed by Moman Architects and constructed by J. Jacobs Commercial LP, the project was completed on time and nine percent under budget.
Cedar Park: Parks Department Maintenance Facility
The City of Cedar Park recently approved the design and construction of a 13,000-square-foot multi-building Maintenance Facility, which will be designed by Moman Architects and engineered by Waeltz & Prete, Inc. for a budget of $1 million. The buildings include offices and break room, covered parking, workshop and storage building, as well as hazmat storage and a wash bay.
Boys and Girls Club of Georgetown Has Growth Spurt
In order to better meet the growing needs of children and teens between the ages of 6-18 years of age, the Boys and Girls Club of Georgetown is in the process of adding 2,200-square-feet to their already exisiting 2,500-square-foot building. Currently, the project is in the building permit stage, with a target completion date of June 2010.
The highly regarded national charity seeks to enable young people to reach their fullest potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. Founded in 2004 with just 20 members, the Georgetown branch quickly exceeded 400 kids and anticipates an increase in attendance during the summer months. “Providing a dedicated and private area for them [teens] is vital if we are to keep them in our club,” says Daniel Anstee, Branch Director for the Boys and Girls Club of Georgetown. “The project is not intended to increase membership, but to serve our current participants more effectively.”
Stepping in to bring this important project to life are three local companies known for their frequent charitable contributions to the community: Moman Architects, J. Jacobs Commercial LP, and FHI. Each will be donating a portion of the services required to complete the expanison including design, project management, engineering, and construction.
“It brings my heart great joy to be a small part of this team effort,” says David Harris, Moman Architects Project Manager and Georgetown resident for over 30 years.
