The current monastery, built in 1948, was originally developed as a temporary facility until a more permanent structure could be erected. After fifty-four years, leaders from the Trappist-Cistercian Order are now in the preconstruction and design phase of the new monastery. Brother Michael, who is coordinating the project, explains, “The Quonset style buildings were never intended to be permanent structures, and are now no longer adequate for the needs of the community.” Salt Lake City based Pace-Pollard, under the direction of Kenneth Pollard AIA, designed the new facility that will be built.

For the past three years, Ken has worked closely with the Huntsville community in order to create a functional, cost effective, yet comprehensive facility designed to serve the religious community into the new millennium. The Abbey Building Committee, under the coordination of Brother Michael, and the monastic community approved the preliminary design of the Abbey as developed by the architects. Cost estimates were done on every aspect of the building, taking into consideration work that could be performed by the community and additional volunteers, and the ability to stage construction over time. Taking into consideration the cost of construction, FF&E, architectural and engineering fees, and other contingencies, a capital campaign goal was set at $8.5 million. Already, the Abbey has received in-kind, cash, and pledges totaling over $300,000 MONASTERY cont. on page 3 Hair and Fashion Show Scheduled at Wolf Creek Are you ready for a new attitude?
