ST. PETER THE APOSTLE CATHOLIC CHURCH NEW SANCTUARY

Pascagoula, MS

$2,059,000

Mississippi Associated Builders and Contractors Merit Award Winner 2019

St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church is located in Pascagoula, Mississippi. Originally dedicated on December 1, 1907, St. Peter the Apostle is administered by the Josephite Fathers, a Roman Catholic religious organization established to minister to African-Americans, and is the twin of Our Mother of Sorrows Catholic Church in Biloxi, Mississippi. After the original sanctuary was damaged by a storm in 1916 and destroyed by fire in 1917, the second building was lost during Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. It is the Diocese of Biloxi’s last Katrina-damaged parish to be rebuilt.


The new sanctuary for St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church is a 7,360 square-foot pre-engineered metal building with a standing seam metal roof, cement board siding, and brick exterior. 


The new sanctuary is the first in the Diocese of Biloxi to have television monitors mounted behind the altar to assist with parishioner participation during mass.New Paragraph

Walter Anderson Museum of Art Addition and Expansion

Ocean Springs, MS
$703,869
Mississippi Associated Builders and Contractors Merit Award Winner 2014
Opened in 1991, Walter Anderson Museum of Art has become a popular attraction in historic downtown Ocean Springs, Mississippi, showcasing artwork from Walter Inglis Anderson and his brothers, Peter and James.

This project was for the construction of a new 855 square-foot entry pavilion with an enlarged gift shop using 21-foot tall structural glazing system, reconfiguring existing spaces, and enclosing two 480 square-foot courtyards to create galleries connected to the main exhibition building. The enclosure of the courtyards included new concrete brought through the occupied museum by wheelbarrow and installation of new steel columns and beams, sheetrock, slate flooring, skylights and new electrical.

Work also included selective demolition, site preparation, new paver walkways, structural steel, metal framing, metal and built-up roofing, mechanical and plumbing systems, and finishes to match the existing with wood walls, ceilings, and floors.

All work was performed in an open and operating museum with special care to minimize noise, dust, and vibration, and to prevent damage to the existing structure and artwork.

Ft. Maurepas Park and Pavilion

Ocean Springs, MS
$1,714,964
In April of 1699, explorer Pierre LeMoyne Sieur d’Iberville sailed into Biloxi Bay, claiming the land for King Louis XIV and France, which is now known as Ocean Springs, Mississippi. On that site, d’Iberville founded Fort Maurepas which became the capital of the Louisiana Colony until 1702 when it was moved to Mobile, present-day Alabama.

This historic site was restored to reflect the outline of the original fort in the form of a cast stone seat wall surrounding a lawn area. Other features include a performing stage and a pavilion with an observation deck overlooking the gulf. A new playground and splash pad contribute to making this one of the finest public parks on the coast.
