A TRIBUTE TO THE BUILDING COMMITTEE MEMBERS
A Building Committee organized in 1999 initiated the design of the next generation of the Jain Bhavan that would address the present and future needs of our community. The Building Committee was made up of volunteers with expertise in architecture, construction, project planning, project management, accounting, real estate, finance, and various engineering disciplines.
The Jain Bhavan Expansion Project was a very large and complex undertaking and sixteen sub-committees headed by various volunteers were set-up to address and manage specific aspects of the project - Accounting; Acoustics; Architectural; Civil Engineering Audio Video; Computer Networks; /Security; Construction; Drawings Control; Fire Sprinkler; Structural; Electrical/Mechanical/Plumbing: Financing & Fund Raising: Interior Decoration Space Planning, Kitchen; Landscape; Legal; and Wooden Temple.
From 1999 to the present, members of the Building Committee met and continue to meet regularly on Sunday mornings at the Jain Center to address various aspects of the project. Every major recommendation, cost item, and expenditure were discussed at this meeting with due diligence before making a final decision. Representatives of the Executive Committee, the Board of Directors, and the past JCSC leaders were also present at such meetings to corroborate the decision making process.
The successful completion of the Jain Bhavan Expansion Project is a tribute to the tremendous effort and thousands of hours invested by the volunteers of JCSC Building Committee who for nearly 9 years met regularly on Sunday mornings at the Jain Center to plan and monitor the progress of the project. Contributions of their spouses who prepared and dispatched delicious breakfasts to keep the attendees motivated and productive at such meetings are gratefully acknowledged. Volunteers who worked on various capacities on the Building Committee are listed below. We apologize for any inadvertent omission of a name, and for which we wish to offer our sincere Michhami Dukkaddam.
