BCE has provided designs for several isolated renovation projects at the historic Old Faithful Inn in recent years. We are currently providing structural design for an extensive structural conditions assessment for the 'Old House' complex. The building is located in one of the most extreme seismic and snow load areas in the United States. Construction renovation documents are to be produced in 2001 / 2002. Construction is designated to begin in spring of 2003. (click &nbsp here &nbsp for more pics)

Central School Renovation - Kalispell, MT
Architect: James R. McDonald Architects (now A&E Architects)

Built in 1884, the Central School building in Kalispell, MT has served the community faithfully for 118+ years. After many years of hard use, and nearly 10 years of vacancy, the building was in need of significant restoration, both architecturally and structurally. Beaudette Consulting Engineers teamed together with James R. McDonald Architects (now A&E Architects) et. all. to renovate and restore the original building and to produce "A Museum for the 21st Century". The original brick building with wood floors was upgraded to support increased floor loading from public gatherings in the museum. In addition, the unreinforced masonry walls were reinforced with seismic steel frames to ensure the safety of visitors and staff in the case of a seismic event. (click &nbsp here &nbsp for more pics)
