The Building Committee interviewed 3 different architects and met with them several times to carry out deep conversations. After much discussion and research, we unanimously chose Barrett Studio of Boulder to help us design our newly remodeled space.
Barrett Studio has worked with several spiritual centers in Colorado, namely: First Universalist Church of Denver, Jefferson Unitarian Church, Abbey of St. Walburga and Boulder Jewish Commons, to name a few.
It was Barrett Studio's extensive work with UU spiritual spaces and their familiarity with UU beliefs that impressed us. Please visit the Barrett Studio website to view some of their past work and see if you aren't impressed also.
Yesterday (Tuesday), representatives of the Building Committee, the Board, and Barrett Studio met with Reverend Lydia to discuss what a UU spiritual space could look like through the minister's lens.

Asbestos Update
Good news!
The report has come back with asbestos only in 15 sqft of a mechanical closet flooring, and no where else. They pulled a fair number of samples. There is an assumption that there may be some in the asphalt roof shingles. This may not be the case, but even if it is, it can be removed easily due to it being "non-friable". (Doesn't crumble into dust.)

Transcript of the Annual Congregational Meeting in regards to the Stay/Go
Thursday, June 1, 2017
It was a busy week at the Fellowship "where the women are strong, the men are good looking, and the kids are all above average".
On Sunday, May 28th, we held an informal Question and Answer session at the front of the sanctuary after the 10 am service. There were about 10 members who had questions about and suggestions for issues related to our building. Many of the topics were similar to those in the May Town Hall Meeting. Please refer to the May Town Hall link in the right hand menu to review those topics.
On Tuesday morning, May 30th, David met with an asbestos inspector at the Fellowship. He took 24 samples from floor, ceiling, and walls throughout the building. We should get results informing us as to whether or not we have asbestos issues in 1-2 weeks.
On Thursday morning, June 1st, Reverend Lydia and David met with representatives of one of the architectural firms under consideration to work with our project. A productive discussion took place regarding building issues from the minister's viewpoint. The Committee plans on choosing and contracting with an architectural firm by no later than Thursday, June 8th.
Don't forget the Annual Congregational Meeting this Saturday, June 3rd at 5 pm. An important "Stay/Go" vote will be taken.
