INNOVATION WITH LEADERSHIP IN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN: MISSOULA FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, RUSSELL STREET – LEED GOLD CERTIFIED Location: Missoula, MT Architect: MMW Architects
The Missoula Federal Credit Union on Russell Street is a single story financial institution building completed in the fall of 2008. With BCE’s help, the building recently obtained a Gold LEED certification with the following points utilizing the structural elements. EA Credit 1: Structural insulated panel (SIP) walls made up the exterior wall systems. The high performance rigid insulation in the SIP walls will increase energy performance for the long term. The structure accommodates a very aggressive solar panel structure which covers the Drive-thru Banking Lanes. MR Credit 4: BCE worked with MSU research laboratories to specify a minimum of 35% and up to 100% fly ash concrete mix. BCE held educational meetings with the construction team, including the concrete supplier, concrete finisher and general contractor, on the usage of 100% fly ash concrete with re-cycled glass and re-cycled brick aggregate. MR Credits 4, 5, 7: BCE documented and specified the use of recycled materials, regional materials, and FSC certified wood throughout the structural elements.

Grand Teton National Park Architects: Bohlin, Cywinski, Jackson — Seattle, Washington Printed Articles & News Releases:
The new Grand Teton National Park Discovery and Visitor’s Center is located along the Snake River, snuggled up against the Teton range at Moose Junction, a few miles outside Jackson, WY. The building construction utilizes materials consistent with the landscape and climate, with multiple log frames supporting a glulam rafter roof system making up the primary gravity load system. A vast sloping window wall system looks out to the Teton range beyond and is supported by custom steel mullions. The lateral system is a combination of concealed braced frames, moment frames, and wood shearwalls. This structure posed special challenges with roof snow loads approaching 300psf combined with the high seismicity of the area. The Visitor’s Center will be open to the public year around with the grand opening and dedication completed August 11, 2007. It is expected to draw over half a million visitors a year. |

Washington Grizzly Stadium East Expansion Client: University of Montana — Missoula, MT Printed Articles & News Releases:
The University of Montana Grizzly football program has enjoyed over a decade of top ranked status in college D-IAA. With this success has come overwhelming demand for football tickets to home games. In 2003 BCE designed a 4,000 seat addition to the north end of the stadium to bring the number of seats to around 24,000. This was not enough though. In 2007 BCE was brought on board once again to add 2,000 more seats to the east side of the stadium. As the stadium grows, the problem and logistics of adding these seats becomes more difficult. The east side addition will perch over existing enclosed boxed seating with the structural steel frame cantilevering over 24 feet above the existing facilities. The new addition will also include a 4,000 square foot club room facility at the top for exclusive game viewing entertainment for the select ticket holders. The structural steel frame includes main frames that serve as both gravity and lateral load transfer mechanisms. The frames are put together to economically support the cantilevered section while limiting deflections to acceptable values. |
