Gessner Engineering provided structural, civil, geotechnical engineering, and surveying services for the remodel of an abandoned army chapel into office space for the RELLIS campus administration at Texas A&M University in Bryan, TX. This project involved the transformation of the historic chapel into a functional and modern office environment, while maintaining its architectural integrity and historical significance.
Our team conducted detailed geotechnical analysis to assess soil conditions and inform the foundation design, ensuring the building’s structural stability. Structural engineering services were essential for adapting the chapel’s original design to accommodate the new office layout, while civil engineering services addressed site development and infrastructure needs. Gessner Engineering’s surveying expertise ensured precise planning and coordination throughout the remodeling process, helping to successfully repurpose this unique space for the university’s administrative functions.
