We wanto to support Ethnos Mexico, by performing a multidisciplinary study of the ministry's properties, and buildings in and near Chihuahua. Through this study, EMI will help clarify how the existing properties can best support the ministry's present operations and long-term mission. This project trip will include a Masterplanning, Architectural, Electrical, Structural and Civil Engineering analysis of 3 sites.
Project Scope
The ministry currently operates from several properties in and around Chihuahua. Its primary urban campus includes an office building, an apartment, a school serving missionary children, a guest house, a maintenance shop, and a Bible school. Additional urban properties include a temporary dormitory and a donated house located several blocks from the main campus. The ministry also owns a rural campus of approximately 10 hectares, located about 25 minutes outside the city. This site is used for intensive missionary training and includes student and faculty housing and the ARCA building, which contains a gymnasium, classrooms, a finance office, and childcare space. As Chihuahua continues to grow northward, the ministry is considering whether some urban operations could be consolidated at the rural campus or whether its properties should be used in another combination. EMI Mexico will assemble a multidisciplinary team to visit the properties, review the available documentation, assess the facilities and sites, and prepare recommendations for the responsible and efficient use of the ministry's property portfolio. The study is intended to help ministry leadership evaluate possible consolidation strategies and establish a sound basis for future planning and decisions.
Proposed Projetc Trip Scope
The work during the trip is expected to include the following services and reports
• Review of documentation. Review available deeds, surveys, property plans, legal descriptions, facility information, and property locations provided by the ministry.
• Site visits and facility observations. Visit the urban and rural properties to document existing conditions, current uses, access, infrastructure, architectural function, electrical systems, structural analysis and apparent opportunities or constraints.
• Property portfolio assessment. Consider the role, relative value, operational usefulness, and development potential of each property within the ministry's overall mission.
• Consolidation scenarios. Develop and compare practical options for retaining, selling, relocating, or consolidating ministry functions, including the possibility of moving additional activities to the rural campus.
• Preliminary infrastructure assessment. Identify major planning considerations associated with access, water supply, existing facilities, and other site infrastructure at the rural campus.
• Final report. Provide a written report summarizing observations, planning considerations, graphic diagrams, plans and models that help illustrate comparative scenarios, and recommendations for the most responsible use of the ministry's resources.
