We are honored to work in an industry that has the opportunity to, both literally and figuratively, influence the building blocks of history. We can only hope that our buildings might have a chance to stand for something great.
As we prepare to gather with our families and watch the fireworks, we’d also like to look back at buildings that have become synonymous with our country’s history.
Building Blocks of Independence
INDEPENDENCE HALL
It can be argued that Independence Hall is the most important building in the founding of the United States of America. Completed in 1756, and originally used as the Pennsylvania State House, it was outfitted in red brick by Edmund Woolley in a Georgian-style architecture.
The building was the site of the signing of the Declaration of Independence (1776), the ratification of the Articles of Confederation (1781), and the development of the U.S. Constitution during the Constitutional Convention (1787).
THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL
Completed in 1922, Washington, D.C.’s Lincoln Memorial was built in the style of the ancient Greek temple, the Parthenon. Rising 30 feet off the memorial floor is a marble statue of Abraham Lincoln, a keystone that architect Henry Bacon thought would be appropriate for a president who defended democracy.
Since then, it has been an attraction for students and tourists, and a site for civil rights demonstrations and events. In 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream” speech from the steps of the memorial before a crowd of thousands.

design build, idrive, pbc construction, restaurant, steel chef
The construction cost of the project will be between $2 million and $3 million and work is expected to begin in the fall, said Chuck Hobus, president of Orlando based Precision Building Construction.
The new food and retail venue, with 5,300 square feet of leasable space, will be attached to the front of the 119-room Travelodge By Windham Orlando, formerly the Heart of I-Drive Hotel, at 7200 International Drive. The facility will be named Steel Chef after one of its main tenants.
Steel Chef is a takeout restaurant concept. There will be a total of 26 leasable containers and they will be constructed where the three-story motor lodge’s front parking lot is located.
The project currently is in the design phase by Precision Building Construction and Scott Cormia Architects of Orlando. The target date for completion is summer of 2022.
“This new addition will provide a fresh, revitalized look for the property, and it will provide new shopping and dining options at a busy International Drive location,” noted Hobus.
Precision Building Construction is a major design/build firm with healthcare, retail, industrial and commercial projects throughout Central Florida.

Members of the S+C team got to see ORRA’s vision take one more step toward becoming reality. Members of the community, local government, including the Orlando Economic Partnership, ORRA leadership, as well as representatives of the design-build team made up of Precision Building Construction and Scott + Cormia were in attendance to officially break ground on ORRA’s new home.
ORRA CEO Cliff long led the ceremony that took place on April 28th. It is expected that the project will be finished in late 2022.
S+C Partner Matt Cormia noted, “Being teamed with PBC and the talent and personalities that we were able to collaborate with on the design for this building, is part of what made this such a fun project, as an architect. I’m particularly proud of this design and feel it was a good match of exploration of shape, materiality, patterning and also being cost effective, while also being really nice.”
