Role: General Contractor, CMAR with GMP
Client: Risen Savior Lutheran Church • Architect: Callahan Studios • Size: 36,000 SF • Location: Chandler, AZ
Risen Savior Lutheran Church is a ground up 1-story, 36k sf church developed on a 6 acre parcel located on South Alma School Road and West Chandler Heights Road. The building includes a 12k sf, 700 seat capacity Worship Center, 11k sf of classroom space, and an 800 sf commercial grade kitchen. A 40′ folding glass door Nanawall system serves as the building’s entrance into the lobby. The worship center platform was built with a ‘zero level’ concept, and included a sunken seating bowl in front of the stage and stadium seating built up around the bowl and stage. Backstage includes an 800 sf classroom/greenroom, in addition to 900 sf of mezzanine storage space. The adaptive use concept was utilized in the form of a 2,500 sf multi-use room, capable of converting up to 4 smaller spaces with acoustical performance operable partitions.
A combination of structural steel and light & heavy gauge cold formed steel make up the structural system. On site, 500 linear feet of 10 ft diameter corrugated metal pipe (CMP) underground detention tanks were installed for storm water collection.
“I would gladly work with Randy and Josh Hansen again on any project. In my opinion Randy and Josh are both men of integrity. We built a new Worship Center, commercial kitchen, classrooms, and youth center between 2019 and 2020. Building during the peak of the pandemic posed many challenges; supply chain issues, crews being quarantined, and more. Hansen worked through all of the scheduling challenges and came in under budget. The building is magnificent and any small challenges we had after occupying it were quickly addressed.
One thing I appreciated about Randy was his candor. He was honest about the cost, even if we didn’t like it. He gave his honest opinion on aspects of the building some we took other we did not, but he always respected our decisions. I found Randy and Josh easy to work with and consider them friends. I would highly recommend Hansen Construction!”
