The 19,000-square-foot (1,765-m2) Calvary Chapel in Corvallis, Ore., consists of four buildings built with consideration given to the location of the church sanctuary and fellowship hall. This was done to minimize the impact on the surrounding natural topography so a minimal amount of trees and vegetation were removed. The design utilized wide roof overhangs to maximize building shade and an Energy Saver roof insulation system from JT Johnson Co., Kent, Wash., with a high R-value to minimize energy costs.

Metallic Building Co., Houston, supplied a pre-engineered building with a Double-Lok standing seam roof system for the project. The metal roof panels had a Signature 300 (Kynar) paint finish.

The pre-engineered metal building was chosen for its flexibility to be incorporated into the original design using large clear spans, canopies, purlin extensions, and special roof loading for sound and lighting equipment. The metal roof was chosen for its longevity and aesthetic value.

William G. Ryals, Albany, Ore., was the architect; T. Gerding Construction Co., Corvallis, was the contractor; and Northwest Steel Structures, Eugene,Ore., was the erector and roofi ng contractor.
