The Palo Alto Art Center project was for the renovation of a long-standing civic building that is used as a community art and exhibition space. The Center is a single-story, modern ranch style building that required numerous updates. The renovation included construction of architectural layout improvements to upgrade the main gallery space and entrance lobby to better display traveling and local art exhibits, a whole roof replacement, repair and replacement of deteriorated wood members throughout the facility, interior finishes such as glazing, doors, windows, and hardware, exterior and interior ADA upgrades, structural improvements, and replacement of mechanical, electrical, lighting, plumbing, fire protection systems. The west wing of the building was renovated into a dedicated Children’s Wing which includes a secure entry, courtyard space, deck, and a new reclaimed wood privacy fence. The project scope included meticulously landscaped grounds and extensive measures were taken to preserve and move many of the existing trees located on the property.

The Natural History Museum of Utah is an impressive, architecturally unique building that houses the state’s extraordinary historic collection of 1.2 million ancient artifacts and features innovative exhibitions, gallery spaces, and educational spaces to further its mission of public engagement in the sciences. The LEED Gold® building sits on a 17-acre site is cut into a hillside overlooking the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Museum spaces include eight themed exhibition galleries, children’s gallery, changing exhibit space, cafe, museum store, community meeting rooms. The exterior features board formed concrete walls and a standing seam copper horizontal façade mined from Kennecott Utah Copper&#8217;s Bingham Canyon Mine. Construction was challenging from the start with extensive excavation work and construction of a 45-feet tall soldier pile wall. Extensive, complex concrete work was another significant challenge. Big-D self-performed the concrete which required rigorous collaboration and some unique and never-been-done-before techniques. The project was an overwhelming success, completed within budget, and has since be recognized with numerous awards.
