On June 7, MoonTree Community began its next phase of growth with the groundbreaking at the new site. MoonTree Community will build new facilities in order to continue the expansion of its ministry. Each building will target Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification through the U.S. Green Building Council. The project consists of three buildings: a two-story lodge for staff residence and work space, a gallery studio with exhibit and workshop space, and a shop studio for woodwork and metal arts. The construction will incorporate heavy timber framing, Structural Insulated Panels, and Insulated Concrete Forms in the final building structure.
The Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ are partnering with DJ Construction for the project, which will officially begin with the groundbreaking ceremony on June 7th. DJ is excited for the opportunity to work with the MoonTree Community and help them realize their goals. The company’s experience with LEED building certification is an important factor in the partnership, and DJ is honored to be the builder for this unique and important project.
DJ Construction Co., Inc. is a general contractor focusing on commercial, industrial, healthcare and church facilities in the Michiana area. The company is a member of both the National and Indiana chapters of the U.S. Green Building Council and has completed multiple projects that have either attained or are planning to attain LEED certification.
