First Baptist Church of Gainesville, GA
Getting Started
The existing sanctuary at FBC Gainesville has some real antiques in the basement.... just take a look at these beautiful relics from HVAC history, circa 1961.
Phase 1 Complete:
Two - 1,000,000 BTU condensing cast-iron boilers were installed; connected to existing pump header, and new return manifold to critical existing heating zones. Existing Chilled Water connection to the Sanctuary was maintained for change over to spring cooling season.
& A HUGE SHOUT OUT to the Shumate Mechanical putting up their A-team for Excellent Customer Service in this challenging renovation!!!
Phase 2 Complete:
After the central plant upgrades, it was time to tackle distribution and Air-side equipment. To avoid routing the piping over the finished space of the historical sanctuary, new distribution was routed underground through a courtyard to modular AHUs built on-site due to the limited access in the balcony mechanical rooms.
Phase 3 Complete:
Two Large "Buffalo" Air Handlers in the basement served existing corridors throughout the original church building; these were replaced in a design-build effort prior to the Music Hall Addition of 2022-2023.
Music Hall Addition:
With BCA Architects Studio, a new 6,000 sq.ft. expansion was nestled among the original church music wing. The existing chilled water and boiler heating system was extended to the roof of the new expansion to serve 3 new air handlers.
