Grace Community Presbyterian Church

Celebrating the Rebirth of the Congregation

CJA was proud to be part of the rebuilding process for the City of Weed following the devastating Boles Fire of September 2014, which completely destroyed the original church. The project included the design and development of a new one-story wood-framed church facility of approximately 6,000 sq. ft.

The resulting design features worship, social fellowship, office, and education spaces, all incorporating an alpine-inspired theme. Project scope also included site design, parking, and outdoor gathering areas. CJA coordinated audiovisual and lighting systems, liturgical elements, and art glass features. The project was completed in 2017.

The finished sanctuary celebrates the rebirth of the congregation. CJA was honored to join parishioners in the dedication of the new building and the celebration of the next chapter for this church family and community.

Role of CJA:  Architect of Record, Liturgical Designer Construction Cost:  $1.5 Million

BASF

A Facility that Creates Change

CJA was thrilled to serve as Architect of Record for this project and to select all interior finishes throughout the facility. We are pleased that the success of this project represents meaningful opportunities for both BASF and the Davis community, and we are proud of our long-standing relationship with Buzz Oates.

BASF is a global chemical company with a local agricultural division affiliated with Nunhems, for whom CJA has partnered on previous projects. Their work focuses on science-driven innovation, emphasizing taste and sustainability to develop improved vegetable seed varieties. Formerly located in a Bayer facility in West Sacramento, BASF has relocated to a new, purpose-built building within the Mace R&D Business Park.

The BASF Vegetable Seed Lab project includes administrative office and laboratory spaces, as well as a large training room that opens to a communal break room through an automated Skyfold partition. The project also features coordinated interior and exterior corporate signage, along with Mechoshade roller shades installed on both interior and exterior glazing. The result is a flexible, high-performance environment that reflects BASF’s innovative culture—highlighted by refined finishes and the striking Skyfold partition.

Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church

A Modern Facility for an Ancient Faith

For over 60 years, Greek Orthodox Christians have worshipped and celebrated their culture at facilities located at the Annunciation campus at 600 Alhambra Boulevard in Sacramento. Founded by a handful of immigrant families from Greece, the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church has become a thriving Parish of over 500 families.  To meet cultural and ministry needs, a new Family and Education Center was commissioned to replace aging infrastructure and facilities – and build for the future.

CJA interfaced with a number of groups during the master plan process, including a small executive building committee, a larger full building committee, the parish at large and three separate neighborhood community organizations. The main drive for this master plan was to lay out the facilities so that new buildings could be constructed while still occupying the existing buildings and the existing buildings demolished after occupancy of the new buildings. This was especially challenging given a tight 2.2 acre site. New replacement facilities include:

• a multi-purpose parish hall,

• bookstore,

• classrooms,

• library,

• meeting rooms,

• preschool,

• administrative offices,

• a larger parking lot and

• an extensive courtyard.

Organized around the campus courtyard, called the Plateia in Greek, the new Center is a modern facility for an ancient faith.  The Center provides needed space for social, cultural, educational, and religious activities.  A major design requirement was to design the facility in the Byzantine style to reflect the Parish’s proud heritage, legacy, and culture.  Sustainability, energy efficiency, and low maintenance were important design requirements as well.

Cristo Rey Sacramento High School

CJA worked with an existing office building to create a new home for Christo Rey Sacramento High School. The services for this 48,000 s.f. project included programming, entitlement processing, tenant improvements and interior design. The big challenge tackled by our architects was gaining approval through the City of Sacramento for the change in use from an office to an educational facility.

Major upgrades were made to the existing building's systems, including HVAC, electrical and fire suppression. New spaces include a large multi-purpose room, a kitchen , administrative offices, counseling center and classrooms. Laboratories for physics, science, biology, and art were also added.

Pops of school color can be spotted throughout the campus and the big, bright classrooms are equipped to provide students with all they need to succeed.
