Cardinal Joint Fire District

The station is designed in a response to unify the building types surrounding the site: a factory to the east, a large gable-roofed church to the west, and numerous houses to the north. The building features a double deep apparatus bay for five vehicles, a 50 person training room, interior skills training features, bunks, offices, kitchen, day room and an exercise room.

New Construction of the 12,000 SF Fire Station and EMS Facility started in late fall of 2016 and Owner occupancy was provided on June 26, 2017.

Ohio Wesleyan University - Small Living Units

Ohio Wesleyan University retained the team of BSHM and LITTLE to design themed Small Living Units (SLUs). The project is located on an "L" shaped parcel along a strong pedestrian path connecting the western residential campus with the eastern academic and athletic campus. The SLUs house two groups of 12 residents with similar interests, or themes.

Multiple roofing materials are employed to vary the appearance and help create distinct buildings.

Johnstown-Monroe Elementary School

Working with the District’s existing property located in a residential neighborhood, the BSHM design maximizes the use of the small eleven (11) acre site by locating the building to minimize the proximity to the existing adjacent homes, yet providing open green space for play fields and separation of car and bus traffic.

The design included an efficient floor plan to create a building massing and exterior appearance to blend with the character of the existing residential neighborhood.

Flexible learning spaces are incorporated to align with the District’s movement toward a Student Centered Learning Environment.

The opaque zinc clad hall is a counterpoint to the transparent public spaces and adjoining restaurant which illuminate and enliven the bosque and streets bordering the facility.
