Himmelman Construction was recently selected as the contractor on the expansion project at the Redemptoris Mater Seminary for the Archdiocese of Denver. Himmelman Construction has worked with the Archdiocese of Denver on a number of projects over the years. This project is especially exciting as the lead design architect is from Rome and is teamed with a local architectural firm, Larson Architects.
Redemptoris Mater is Latin for "Mother of the Redeemer." The $3 million, 11,000 square foot project will serve the Archdiocese of Denver to form priests for the New Evangelization, because the Archbishop can decide to send any of the priests ordained from this seminary to serve in another part of the world, should another bishop in greater need ask him. Currently, the seminary has students from fourteen different nationalities and three continents--Europe, America, and Africa.
The new facilities will be a great improvement for the life of the seminary.
Himmelman was also awarded Phase 2 of the Vail Christian High School after the successful completion of Phase 1 last spring. The $7 million building will include a performing arts auditorium, indoor facilities, and a gym for the athletic department.

The new Breckenridge Building Center is scheduled for completion March 2008. The retail building was originally designed as a 26,000 square food wood construction building. After value engineering the project, Himmelman Construction converted it into a pre-engineered metal building, saving the owners approximately $1 million, while maintaining the rustic wood construction appearance.
The building has been mentioned by Chief Buildings as the Building of the Year.
Himmelman Construction has been working through a rough winter, yet has successfully remained on schedule.

Himmelman Construction completes addition to Redemptoris Mater Seminary
August 2008
Redemptoris Mater Seminary is an 11,000 SF addition to an existing seminary located at the John Paul II center. Himmelman Construction teamed up with Larson Architects to complete the second phase of the building which includes marble finishes, a chapel surrounded by a glu-lam beam roof structure, and a 100 foot tall bell tower. Breath-taking gold-leafed aluminum crosses adorn the bell tower and chapel.
The building was originally designed by a European architect who also worked on the first phase of the project. Himmelman Construction and Larson Architects worked on the established design together in order to develop creative solutions to some very complex design challenges.
The design of the bell tower structure required erectors to work at upwards of approximately 100 feet. Expert skill and scrupulous safety measures were employed. The highly skilled and competent, Steel Fabricators erected the tower seamlessly.
Safety is Himmelman Constructions’ number one priority and as such, not only this task but the entire project was completed without a single safety accident.
The design of the glu-lam structure also posed some interesting challenges; however, these challenges were met with inventive solutions. The formal chapel design utilized a two-story structure consisting of glu-lam beams and structural decking. This proved to be a challenge because each member of the octagon structure was supporting the other. In efforts to ensure the highest quality product and to save time, the entire structure was built on the ground and then hoisted into place. Even the seminaries came out to watch this momentous event!
In addition to these design challenges, the construction team flawlessly coordinated the installation of products imported from Spain.
