Historic Preservation | Parks & Recreation | Sustainable Solutions

Loven Contracting’s historic preservation carpentry team replaced the roofs and repaired key historic elements on the historic Bright Angel Cabins located in the historic Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim of this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Key to the success of this project was a site management plan that ensured minimal impact on the activities of park visitors and staff in a high-volume visitation zone. Specific components of the management plan included a phased project schedule that enabled us to reduce the size of the work area, screened fencing, and an adjusted work schedule to minimize work during high visitation days.

Loven Contracting’s ability to self-perform intricate carpentry work was utilized to replicate the historic textures of the original logs/viga via modified modern tools for efficiency and accuracy. Additionally, all paints were matched using NPS guidelines, and the original cedar shingles were replaced with in-kind materials for historical accuracy. Sustainable practices included the evaluation of and re-installation of salvageable original materials and meeting all client requirements.

William Lowell Putnam Collection Center and Library

William Lowell Putnam Collection Center and Library

The collection center is located on an active scientific and historic campus. Site deliveries and disruptive activities such as blasting were conducted in coordination with Lowell Observatory staff and tourist activities, enabling undisrupted operations.

A hydronic in-floor heating system was integrated into the temperature and humidity controls. A special walk-in freezer was utilized to kill any existing/foreign bacteria within incoming archival materials.

Loven Contracting staff managed this project through both the summer monsoon season and winter snow conditions. Environmental sensitivity and compliance with local regulations is essential in this sensitive natural area surrounded by a dense forest.

Government & Municipal

The William Lowell Putnam Collection Center and Library located in Flagstaff, Arizona is a new addition to Lowell Observatory’s educational facilities. The Putnam Collection Center and Library serves as a resource center for historian studies and includes a research library, processing room, staff offices, and a collections repository that houses historic photographs, photographic glass plates, an array of antique instruments, artifacts, and an archive of historic papers from across Northern Arizona.

Construction on the library was conducted through both the summer monsoon season and winter months in an environmentally sensitive area surrounded by a dense forest, slopes, and substantial amounts of basalt bedrock. Despite these environmental challenges, the Loven Contracting team delivered construction services on time and without disrupting Lowell’s active observatory campus.

With the Steele Visitor Center, Hendricks Center for Planetary Studies, metal and fabrication shop, and smaller historic observatories located directly adjacent to the new facility, construction was scheduled so that all nearby facilities remained in full operation throughout the duration of the project. Because necessary rock blasting took place adjacent to historic telescope enclosures, buildings, and sensitive equipment, seismic monitors were utilized to verify resulting vibration activity. Blasting was precisely scheduled to avoid disruption to Observatory visitors and surrounding public areas.

Other aspects of the construction job on the collection center and library included:

A hydronic in-floor heating system was integrated into the temperature and humidity controlled archival center.
Motorized solar tubes that control lighting and UV in sensitive areas were installed.
A special walk-in freezer utilized to kill bacteria and insects at temperatures of -20° prior to archiving materials was installed.
Loven Contracting designed a glycol snowmelt system under a loading dock area with permeable pavers. This system required installation over 2” of rigid foam insulation, yet still had to have the compressive strength to support delivery trucks and general traffic.
