Franklin Crossing
- Overview:
- > Named top Commercial Project in Central Oregon in 2005.
- > Finalist for Excellence in Concrete Award in both 2007 and 2008.
- > First underground parking structure in Bend.
Project Details
Located at the heavily traveled intersection of Franklin and Bond Streets in downtown Bend, Oregon, Franklin Crossing is a five-level, mixed use development that combines beautiful form with sophisticated function. The 69-foot structure encompasses approximately 131,600 square feet that includes the first underground parking facility in Central Oregon. This unique structure allows a person to live at the most prominent address in downtown Bend, shop at some of the trendiest stores and work in a space that is much more than just an office, all under one roof. Hooker Creek delivered over 800 truckloads of concrete for this project during the 2 years of construction. We also supplied the Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF's) that were utilized in the consruction of the Condo's on the top floor. Insulating Concrete Forms were used because of their sound deadening and energy saving qualities. Construction on this amazing structure began in 2004 and was completed in late 2006.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church - Bend, Oregon
- Overview:
- > Seats 800 people
- > Standing room for an additional 200 people.
- > Project completed in late 2009
- > General Contractor - Kirby Nagelhout Construction
- > Hooker Creek Companies, LLC - Concrete Supplier
Project Details
The new St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Bend, Oregon is located adjacent to St. Francis School on the east side of town. The main sancturary has 48 ft cast in place concrete columns on the tall side with a sloping roof down to 26 ft on the low side that is supported by cast in place concrete columns. The main roof structure is held up by two 135 ft beams that sit atop the cast in place concrete columns. There are also cast in place concrete beams at the low end that support the roof structure as well as large glass window assemblies.
There are 30 concrete columns in all with nine different shapes to them. They range in height from 12 ft to 48 ft tall. There is not one column that was designed to be square. There are basic rectangular columns, trapezoid shaped columns and columns that have seven different faces on them and as thick as 5 ft through. Some of the columns have as many as seven window openings in them that had to be blocked out during the pouring of the columns. These window openings had no trim; therefore they had to be exact when the columns were poured.
In addition to the concrete columns, there was approximately 320 ft of cast in place concrete beams that were poured. Once again the concrete beams were irregular shaped. Some were rectangular, some were poured at angles to match the roof pitch, and some were tapered with sloped tops for the roof framing to sit on.
This is a one of a kind building. There is hardly a 90 degree building project in the entire project. Even the tops of the concrete columns were poured at angles to match the roof slope. All of the finished floors in the church, except for 1,000 sq. ft. of tile in the bathrooms, is exposed aggregate concrete. Installing the floors was a huge challenge for those working on the project as they built the entire structure and then poured the floors at the finish stage of the project.
The end result is a beautiful, modern structure that preserves some of the history of the old catholic church located in downtown Bend.
