The Favorite/Most Unique Engineering Project of 2012 Providence Engineering Calvin & Janet High Center for Worship & Performing arts facility — 92,000 sf — Timothy Haahs Gateway Transit Village Mixed-use — 600,000 sf —
The Gateway Transit Village is a shining example of a TOD. It has created a much-needed connection between downtown New Brunswick and the adjacent Rutgers University campus. Further, it provides an attractive, pedestrian-friendly, urban environment serving students, residents, and visitors, while providing transit connections to the rest of the City and throughout New Jersey. TODs are vibrant, mixed-use communities that often incorporate mixed uses within a five- to ten-minute walk of mass transit. Demographic trends, fluctuating and increasing fuel costs, roadway congestion, public smart growth policy, and the public’s increasing desire to live, work, shop, and dine in a mixed-use environment (without relying on a car) will likely make TOD an even stronger focus of the post-recession real estate market. This facility satisfies this need and creates a smarter, more sustainable way of life for the New Brunswick community.
The Calvin and Janet High Center for Worship and Performing Arts on the campus of Mes- siah College will provide 92,000 square feet for both theatre and musical arts programming, including a venue with seating for 825, along with a choir loft seating 140-160, and a black box theater. The space will be used for concerts, public lectures, and chapels. Why was this particular job your favorite/most unusual? This project provided Providence Engineering with an opportunity to enjoy the challenges associated with working on a state of the art, highly architecturally expressed complex that was to be built into a complicated site geographically as well as being an addition to an exist- ing architecturally significant structure.
