BAC’s Future is in Our Hands salute the accomplishments of a Local Union leader or the work of skilled BAC craftworkers, in truth, no one does it alone. We’re in this together – that’s why we’re Union. Every member reading this can credit the generosity of a fellow member in helping to make their way in the trowel trades a little more navigable – perhaps an instructor, a journey-level craftworker, or a Local officer.

s we look ahead to 2014 with renewed hope and expectation, there’s no better time of the year to celebrate the achievements of our members. This edition of the Journal, which spotlights the deserving winners of the 2013 BAC Craft Awards, is indeed a celebration of BAC at its best.

As you page through the photographs and read the stories and background behind each award, I’m certain you will be impressed as I am with the quality of the work and the dedication of the members and officers who were selected from among hundreds of talented and accomplished nominees to receive our Union’s highest honors.

In essence the Craft Awards celebrate not only our winners, but all BAC members who, through solidarity and a lot of hard work, are showing the next generation of members and the public the important role that our Union plays in our members’ lives, the industry and society.

The briefest glance at any one of the Craft Awards’ amazing ‘Best Projects’ radiates a level of beauty and artistry that everyone can appreciate, although only a skilled craftworker can fully value what is involved in taking a raw material and transforming it into a work of art or a structure that will endure for centuries.

Your skilled hands, your spirit and your solidarity have seen us through some challenging times. On behalf of the International Union Executive Board, we have never been prouder of our members and we welcome this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude for your commitment to BAC, and to wish you and yours a happy and healthy New Year.

You’ll also meet members who were singled out for exemplary leadership and community service. But whether we

El Futuro de BAC está en Nuestras Manos

ientras anticipamos la llegada del 2014 con esperanza y expectativas renovadas, no hay mejor momento que este en el año para celebrar los logros de nuestros miembros. Esta edición del Journal, la cual destaca a los merecedores ganadores de los galardones “2013 BAC Craft Awards”, es en efecto una celebración de BAC en todo su esplendor.

En lo que hojea las fotografías y lee las historias y antecedentes detrás de cada galardón, estoy seguro que quedará tan impresionado como yo con la calidad del trabajo y la dedicación de los miembros y oficiales que fueron seleccionados de entre cientos de candidatos talentosos y expertos para recibir los más altos honores que otorga nuestro Sindicato.

La mirada más breve a cualquiera de los maravillosos ‘Mejores Proyectos’ de los permios Craft Awards irradia un nivel de belleza y arte que todo el mundo puede apreciar, aunque sólo un artesano experto es capaz de valorar plenamente lo que involucra tomar una materia prima y transformarla en una obra de arte o en una estructura que perdurará por siglos.

También conocerá a miembros que fueron destacados por su liderazgo y servicio comunitario ejemplares. Pero ya sea que rindamos

homenaje a los logros de un dirigente Sindical Local o al trabajo de artesanos calificados de BAC, la verdad es que nadie puede hacerlo solo. Estamos juntos en esto, es por eso que somos un Sindicato. Cada miembro que lea esto puede dar testamento de la generosidad de algún miembro compañero y la ayuda que éste le prestara para hacer que su camino en los oficios de la pala fuese un poco más navegable – quizás un instructor, un artesano maestro o un funcionario Local.

En esencia los premios Craft Awards no sólo clebran nuestros ganadores pero todos miembros de BAC quienes, a través de la solidaridad y un montón de trabajo duro, están mostrándole a la próxima generación de miembros y al público el importante papel que desempeña nuestro Sindicato en las vidas de nuestros miembros, la industria y la sociedad.

Sus manos habilidosas, su espíritu y su solidaridad nos han ayudado durante algunos tiempos difíciles. En nombre de la Junta Ejecutiva del Sindicato Internacional, nunca hemos estado tan orgullosos de nuestros miembros y aprovechamos esta oportunidad para expresar nuestro más profundo agradecimiento por su compromiso con BAC y para desearles un feliz y próspero Año Nuevo a usted y a los suyos.

BAC’S BEST OF THE BEST! F

ollowing a four-year hiatus, the International Union’s venerable Craft Awards program came roaring back with the presentation of the 2013 awards in 17 categories to BAC craftworkers, officers and Union contractors at special ceremony held at the BAC Executive Council Meeting in Philadelphia on September 22nd.

In his tribute to the assembled honorees, BAC President James Boland described the sum of their work and service as the “gold standard of collaboration between skilled journey-level workers, their employers and a training system second to none.”

Added Boland, “Our crafts are what make it possible for us to point out a school, a church, a home, or a high rise to our family and friends, and say, ‘I built that’ with the kind of pride that doesn’t come with just any job.”

According to BAC Secretary-Treasurer Henry Kramer, who oversees the program, the next Craft Awards cycle will be launched in mid-2014 with an awards ceremony slated for Fall 2015.

OUTSTANDING BAC CRAFTSMANSHIP

Dave Holman Bricklayer Local 5 Oklahoma/ Arkansas/Texas There is no higher tribute for a BAC craftworker than receiving the Outstanding Craftsmanship Award, and no one is more deserving of that honor than Local 5 OK/ AR/TX bricklayer Dave Holman.

Spectacular examples of Brother Holman’s fine craftwork, including special brick shapes and patterns, brick sculptures, dimensional stone, structural CMU and large precast panels, are plentiful throughout Oklahoma, where he has worked in the trade for more than 39 years. His contributions to numerous award-winning projects include the Gaillardia Country Club, Wagner Hall on the campus of the University of Oklahoma (see inset) and the Oklahoma State Capitol dome, the signature work of his longtime employer, Advanced Masonry. Brother Holman’s skills allowed them to lay out an 80-foot diameter with 16 segments and the pie shape that created the dome. All of this was accomplished with such precision that none of the pieces had to be cut or relayed.

Local 5 President Raymond Palacios, says that Holman is the most knowledgeable bricklayer he knows. This is because Brother Holman is constantly studying and researching whatever is needed for each project.

BEST BRICK PROJECT

Local 3 Massachusetts/Maine/ New Hampshire/Rhode Island Nelson Fitness and Coleman Aquatics Center Brown University Providence, Rhode Island Signatory Contractor: Grande Masonry Providence, Rhode Island

Nineteen members of Local 3 MA/ME/ NH/RI and signatory contractor Grande Masonry were recognized for unparalleled craft excellence in the construction of Brown University’s Nelson Fitness and Coleman Aquatics Center.

This stunning addition to Brown’s built environment – renowned for its 18th and 19th century brick buildings – features extensive use of decorative and historic brick details, all requiring world-class skill and craftsmanship.

Local 3 members also installed solid brick cornices, functional brick arches and surrounds, thin brick within stucco

systems, and CMU backup and air/ vapor barrier systems.

The recently completed Center preserves Brown’s architectural character while incorporating another masonry tradition from the surrounding area, namely the City of Providence’s robust, classical industrial structures.

Peter Aaron/OTTO

The Nelson Fitness Center, a 10,000 square-foot multi-purpose fitness loft, is adjacent to the Coleman Aquatics Center, which features the largest hybrid solar-powered electrical and heating installation in the United States, generating enough power to light the building and enough thermal energy to heat the million-gallon pool.

BEST TERRAZZO PROJECTS

Hodnett Photographics LLC

Local 15 Missouri/Kansas Flint Hills Discovery Center Manhattan, Kansas and Children’s Mercy East Clinic Independence, Missouri Signatory Contractor: Desco Coatings, Inc. Olathe, Kansas Members of Local 15 MO/KS and employer Desco Coatings were a winning team on not just one but two exceptional projects featuring their skilled installation of terrazzo flooring: the Flint Hills Discovery Center in Manhattan, KS, and Children’s Mercy East Clinic in Independence, MO. The Flint Hills Discovery Center is a tribute to the tall grass prairie and the

Hodnett Photographics LLC

flint hills that cover more terrain than the total area of some states. The 6,000 square-foot floor depicts wind, rivers, and a map of the region’s cities, lending context to the area’s unique topography and geography. Thirteen colors of epoxy were used in the floor, along with natural marble, mother of pearl, and glass. The curving zinc strips help depict the prairie winds as they swirl through the entrance gracefully guiding visitors to exhibits.

At Children’s Mercy East Clinic, the fairytale landscape of giant otters, birds and flowers creates a peaceful, cheerful, and reassuring environment for young patients.Twenty-one colors of epoxy were used to create the fictional animal world under exacting conditions because no ventilation was allowed to control dust; the terrazzo animals were fabricated offsite and transported to the clinic. Metal work outlining the animals was water-jet

cut to appear as brush strokes of varying widths. Natural marble, mother of pearl and synthetic chips lend even more vibrancy to the floor.

The flawless installation of these unique, colorful designs exemplifies the endless potential of epoxy terrazzo systems in the hands of skilled Local 15 craftworkers.

BEST MARBLE PROJECT

Local 13 Nevada The Smith Center for the Performing Arts Las Vegas, Nevada Signatory Contractor: Superior Tile & Stone Las Vegas, Nevada The timeless elegance of The Smith Center for the Performing Arts in Las Vegas utterly befits a world-class performing arts center.

Its Art Deco style incorporates motifs from the 1930s, drawing inspiration from the design elements of the region’s iconic WPA project, the Hoover Dam. The 385,000 square-foot structure in the heart of downtown’s Symphony Park is the first performing arts center of its size and scope in the U.S. to be LEEDcertified. Every detail of construction was carefully considered such as dispatching representatives to Italy to search for the perfect marble. Light and dark polished Fior Di Pesco were selected for the large concert hall and theater floors, displayed in an alternating pattern. The walls are a mixture of polished Rosso Asiago and Rosa Verona installed in both book matched and diamond matched patterns.

The complexity of this project is immediately apparent; the level of detail it demanded produced an extremely tight range of color, texture and grain, with smooth masculine lines. The success of the project hinged on the quality of Superior Tile & Stone’s talented engineering team, and the accurate fabrication and skill of the Local 13 marble masons and finishers who installed the stone.

BEST TILE PROJECT

Local 3 Massachusetts/Maine/ New Hampshire/Rhode Island War Memorial Athletic Center Cambridge, Massachusetts Signatory Contractor: West Floor Covering, Inc. Pembroke, Massachusetts The craft superiority of Local 3 MA/ ME/NH/RI members surfaces at once in the renovation of the War Memorial Recreation Center in Cambridge, MA. The Cambridge War Memorial Recreation Center is a 107,700 square-foot, two-story facility located on the campus of the city’s public high school. With its three pools, a gymnasium, a field house and multipurpose rooms, the structure serves 1,900 daily and is the central community athletic facility in Cambridge.

With a significant portion of the Center’s main level occupied by the pool area, locker and shower rooms, ceramic tile was the perfect material choice for floors and walls in such a wet, humid environment. The ceramic tile’s colorful patterns help establish and continue the Center’s beautiful aquatic theme and are designed to suggest splashing water.

BEST PLASTER PROJECT

Local 9 Michigan Private Residence Ann Arbor, Michigan Signatory Contractor: Hoffman Plastering Saline, Michigan Local 9 MI, now part of the newly consolidated Local 2 MI, and signatory contractor Hoffman Plastering were recognized for their stellar renovation of a private residence in Ann Arbor.

Built in 1846, the single-family residence is located in the city’s historic downtown.

During the course of the past 160-plus years, the structure’s exterior had badly deteriorated, exposing the brick substrate.

The original stucco was removed and Hoffman Plastering and BAC plasterers brilliantly restored this architectural gem.

Guidelines for the restoration were set by the Ann Arbor Historical Society.

One requirement was that the process and appearance of the original exterior be duplicated in the restoration.

Hoffman Plastering carefully researched Norman Tyler

BEST RESTORATION/REHABILITATION/MAINTENANCE PROJECT Members of Local 1 installed ground protection and shored the interior to allow for rehabilitation. Quarry stone was used to match the original basalt and rebuild portions of basalt interior of the flue. Members also rebuilt the four Gothic arches using salvaged brick that matched the original brick in color, size and texture. This provided seismic stability to the entire structure. A leadcoated sheet metal roof cap was installed to prevent further moisture penetration.

The Furnace’s overall restoration and preservation will protect this historic landmark for decades to come.

Local 1 Oregon Oswego Furnace Restoration Lake Oswego, Oregon Signatory Contractor: Pioneer Waterproofing Tigard, Oregon Built in 1866 at the confluence of Oswego Creek and the Willamette River, the Oswego Iron Furnace was the first of its kind on the Pacific Coast and the state’s largest 19th century manufacturing enterprise. After it closed in 1885, an attempt to dynamite the furnace stack left gaping holes in the interior. In 1974, the Furnace was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and remains the only iron furnace west of the Rocky Mountains.

Signatory contractor Pioneer Waterproofing, Tom Fowler of Miller Engineering, and Local 1 Oregon collaborated on repairing the damage

Susanna C. Kuo

and restoring the Furnace to its original glory. The 32-foot high stack resembles a medieval tower. It has four openings surrounded by masonry arches. Over the years the furnace had partially collapsed.

Its instability along with extensive deterioration, displacement and cracking of the brickwork made it unlikely that the structure could withstand a future earthquake.

Local 3 Massachusetts/Maine/ New Hampshire/Rhode Island Stokes Hall at Boston College Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts Signatory Contractor: Fred Salvucci Corporation Burlington, Massachusetts The Boston College campus is synonymous with quality Collegiate Gothic design and construction. Members of Local 3 MA/ME/NH/RI, working for the Fred Salvucci Corporation, embraced this construction methodology in their work on Stokes Hall.

The 183,000 square-foot exterior stone walls are self-supporting. The full weight of the wall is carried continuously from its base to its top. Granite blocks were chosen individually at the quarry by the design and construction team after cutting into each stone to judge its color and texture.

The design and construction process on this project celebrates the role of the artisan, and the capacity of the human hand in shaping a facility for the educational community it serves. The skill

of Local 3 members ensured that every component of their work contributed to the strength and beauty of a project worthy of its architectural heritage.

BEST USE OF MASONRY MATERIALS

Don Cochran Photography

Local 3 New York Meier Hall at Elmira College Elmira, New York Signatory Contractor: Welliver McGuire, Inc. Montour Falls, New York Don Cochran Photography

The work of Local 3 NY members on Meier Hall at Elmira College in Elmira, NY is a testament to the variety of textures, color and detailing that exemplifies remarkable masonry construction.

Local 3 members, employed by Welliver McGuire, installed a wealth of materials on the 64,000 square-foot dormitory and newest addition to the school’s “picture perfect campus”, which boasts a number of Gothic style buildings dating back to the mid-1800s.

The exterior of the building relies heavily on load bearing masonry for its structural integrity. Local 3 members were responsible for the installation of more than two million pounds of the raw limestone quarried for the project and 128,000 modular brick laid in English Bond.

Inside, the largest of the five Rumford fireplaces has a limestone façade decorated with two hand-carved limestone eagles. More than 14,000 square feet

12

of custom-made tile were used in the bathrooms, 3,000 square feet of Serpeggiante marble and black granite were used in the entrance corridor, and 7,000 square feet of black epoxy terrazzo distinguish the hallways.

The project produced 32,000 work hours for Local 3 members whose amazing levels of quality and productivity transformed a QPK Design into a symphony of masonry for Elmira College.

MOST INNOVATIVE USE OF MASONRY

Local 1 Connecticut Yale University Health Services Center New Haven, Connecticut Signatory Contractor: Joe Capasso Mason Enterprises Middletown, Connecticut The Yale University Health Services Center in New Haven, CT is a brilliant showcase of the craft knowledge and capacity for innovation as demonstrated by the members of Local 1 CT and signatory contractor Joe Capasso Mason Enterprises.

This ingeniously designed building is a compelling example of how masonry can satisfy both artistic form and creative function. The building is sited strategically on the southeast portion of a thoroughly contemporary Yale campus block, making it possible for the building plan to take on a triangular silhouette. This shape provides a generous perimeter wall to floor area ratio, allowing maximum daylight into the space that gives the building a cheery and positive feel. The triangular plan is also extremely compact and efficient, a great asset for a health services facility.

The small modular unit of brick allowed for the complex non-linear warping geometries to be formed using a segmented linear backup structure. The small units of brick smoothed the transition from geometry to geometry and allowed for curved and canting forms to be achieved.

In addition, the building form, with its soft edges in both plan and section, captures the spirit of the work of the late architect, Eero Saarinen. The eased forms address a sensuous, less institutional impulse, as brick veneer walls corbel out and rake back at various angles within the same wall plane to create subtle cascading curves.

THE BAC CODE OF CONDUCT AWARD

Local 33 Georgia/North Carolina/South Carolina Exemplary Safety Record – 17+ Consecutive Years Savannah River Site Aiken, South Carolina The 2013 BAC Code of Conduct Award was presented to the BAC cement masons of Local 33 GA/NC/SC (now

part of Local 8 Southeast) for their exemplary safety record of 17-plus consecutive years at the Savannah River Site in Aiken, SC, the best record among all the construction trades. Also cited were the contributions and dedication of Local 8 member Beverly Jackson for her ongoing work to promote the Self Awareness for Employees Team (SAFE-T) program.

Established more than 18 years ago, the success of the SAFE-T is due in large measure, says Local 8 President From left, Local 8 SE President Ed Navarro, member Beverly Jackson and Vice Chairperson James Stringer with the BAC Code of Conduct Award.

Ed Navarro, “to workers’ active participation in the construction safety program.”

The BAC Code of Conduct Award, part of the International’s Craft Awards program, recognizes BAC members, Local Unions and/or signatory contractors whose work best reflects the Code’s objectives, which include maintaining the highest levels of skill, knowledge, and respectful, productive comportment on the josbite. That describes BAC cement masons and Sister Jackson on the job at SRR to a “T”.

OUTSTANDING UNION SERVICE BY AN INDIVIDUAL Brother Nagy has never been one to hide his love of the trades. Over the years, he has developed an extensive collection of historical masonry memorabilia dating back one hundred years or more (see Issue 2, 2013 Journal article: “Two Decades in the Making, a Collection Built Brick by Brick”). “If there was an Ambassador of Bricklaying, Rich would be confirmed, hands down,” says OH-KY ADC Director Ken Kudela.

Richard Nagy Local 7 Ohio Ohio-Kentucky Administrative District Council When Richard Nagy joined Local 7 OH 56 years ago, BAC gained not just another member, but an individual who would dedicate his skills and experience to advancing the interests of his fellow members, his Local, the bricklaying trade and his community.

After serving his apprenticeship, Brother Nagy was employed as a journeyman bricklayer, then as a Union contractor with Pro Masonry Inc. after which he became the masonry instructor for the Maplewood Career Center. When he retired, he volunteered to work with Local 7 apprentices and the OH-KY ADC to help those ‘coming up in the

Todd Dexter dedicated countless hours in both the planning and construction of the concession area at the new Killingly High School in Dayville, CT. The community service project followed the successful completion of the school under a Project Labor Agreement (PLA).

The 1,600 square-foot concession stand, complete with handicap accessible restroom facilities, is the result of Brother Dexter’s tireless coordinating efforts that brought together donations by trade unions and their respective contractors, including equipment and materials, and of course, volunteers from Local 1.

The Killingly Town Council and the Permanent Building Committee were convinced that a PLA presented the best path forward to ensure that the school would be completed on time, on budget by highly skilled trades workers. Their decision resulted in the hiring of 60 union construction workers, many of whom were residents and taxpayers of Killingly.

This concession stand is a valued addition to the high school on the heels of a PLA that has been extremely beneficial to the community. Brother Dexter’s service was invaluable in bringing it all together to produce a positive outcome for all.

Members of Local 74 and other ADC 1 Locals donated more than 1,500 hours to create this powerful place of remembrance, which opened in June 2010.

Burr Ridge Veterans Memorial Burr Ridge, Illinois In seeking to honor those who served their country, the Burr Ridge Veterans Memorial Committee envisioned a well-planned site with multiple features and structures. Design and fundraising for the memorial would take more than ten years.

In 2009, President Greg Posch of Local 74 IL of ADC 1 of IL received an appeal regarding the possibility of Union bricklayers and stonemasons donating their labor to build the memorial. With the support of the ADC 1 of IL and the District Council Training

Center, Brother Posch moved forward, ultimately spending countless hours on the phone with Committee members reviewing plans, ordering materials and making arrangements for members to donate their time.

The Memorial is a showcase of masonry materials co-existing in harmony. There is rubble limestone in the fountain, a paving brick serpentine walkway, and a central open-air rotunda with smooth Indiana limestone benches for visitors.

JOHN B. SCOLA OUTSTANDING INSTRUCTOR AWARD

Don Hunt CSI, CDT Training Director Local 15 Missouri/Kansas Apprenticeship & Training In 2003 after working in the field for 26 years, Don Hunt accepted the position of Training Director for Local 15 MO/ KS. Since that time, Brother Hunt has taken a decidedly “hands on” approach to his duties, as illustrated by the numerous masonry classes he teaches.

And while expanding apprentices’ craft skills and knowledge is an important part of Don’s program, his development of the popular “Masonry – How We Do It” seminar series gives added dimension to the industry by improving Midwest design and technical skills.

opportunities for BAC newcomers.

Reaching out to them is the Union’s lifeblood, and Don and his staff have always been active at the high school level with job fairs, in addition to their involvement in the “Crayons to CADs” program with younger students.

Don was appointed to the Kansas Apprenticeship Council in 2005 and currently serves as Chairman. In 2009, he was recognized as one of the founding steering committee members for the Building Enclosure Council, Kansas City Chapter and serves on a

number of industry councils. Last year, Don was one of five BAC craftworkers selected by IMI, in collaboration with National Geographic, to study and replicate construction techniques used on Brunelleschi’s Dome in Florence, Italy.

Don’s close work with IMI as well as local chapters of the Construction Specifications Institute to provide continuing education programs are focused in part on ensuring future work BAC

IMI Announces New Training Courses for 2014

W

hile BAC members and contractors saw modest increases in construction activity during 2013, most are hopeful that 2014 will be a better year for the economy in general and specifically, for the masonry construction market. No matter what the markets do, however, it’s clear that BAC members would do well to take advantage of opportunities to expand their skill set. That’s just what the 2014 schedule of training opportunities at the Flynn Center offers, including new courses in Historic Preservation, Advanced Refractory and more.

As shown on the schedule on the opposite page, the majority of the Flynn Center classes occur during January to May, with

a few picking up again in the fall. This timing is based on the seasonality of the construction marketplace since most jobs are going full tilt in the summer months and contractors pretty much have everyone working. The training curriculum and courses have been finely tuned to try and reduce as much classroom time and formal hands-on training as possible in order to allow members to minimize time away from the job. Pre-job training tends to take around eight weeks but upgrade or certification courses are likely to run anywhere from three days to a week or so.

“During this past year we began offering Welding, Air Barrier and Rain Screen Certification and expanded many of our other courses,” said IMI National

Apprenticeship and Training Director Robert Arnold. “In 2014 we want to go beyond that and add a Historic Preservation Certification, which we believe will greatly enhance the ability of our members and contractors to access jobs where a premium is placed on having the right skills for the job. We also believe that applies to Advanced Refractory training and specialized programs for specific products, such as Thin Tile which we completed at the end of 2013.”

A focus on new products, emerging technologies and enhanced Instructor Training will also continue to be a focus of activity at the Flynn Center, as will the testing for the Advanced Certification for Tile program which was initiated in 2013.
