The Buffalo County Baptist Church started as a small
congregation worshiping in an outdoor area known as the Brush
Arbor. Later, the congregation moved into an old school house that
they used for worship services. In 2008, the decision was made to
build a new series of structures, including a sanctuary, education
building and fellowship hall.
The structures feature Ultra-Dek roof panels in Signature 300
Medium Bronze from Metallic Building Co., on Building A's 5:12 roof
pitch, as well as Building B and C's 3:12 roof pitches. All of the
roof slopes are gable symmetrical, and two out of the three
buildings employ the use of Metallic's 16-inch-wide Designer Series
texture-coated concealed fastener panels. These panels are equipped
with factory-applied dryvit finish with additional areas of stone
veneer, supported by Metallic panels and girt framing.
Metallic and the general contractor, Hoke Enterprises Inc.,
worked hand-in-hand with the church's building committee to
optimize the layout of the facility and maximize parking
availability. Additionally, Metallic provided the porte cochere
with a factory-fabricated valley to the main roof. The roof framing
was designed with special deflections to accommodate interior
finishes.
In addition to the pre-engineered metal building, this project
features 2-foot overhangs/soffits, purlin extensions and offset
endwalls on Building A. The combined square footage of this
church's three buildings is 14,165.
