Baird, Hampton & Brown provided full civil, MEP, and land surveying services for the City of Fort Worth’s new $5.5 million clubhouse at Rockwood Golf Course. Built in 1938, the original clubhouse has been reconstructed with a 15,000 SF design that maintains access to the golf course and Ben Hogan Learning Center.

The project was completed in phases with the first focused on setting a temporary clubhouse and access routes for visitors. The second phase included demolition of the original facility and construction. 

To accommodate both electric and gas-powered golf carts, charging stations were installed in the golf storage area and a ventilation system was designed to alleviate exhaust fumes and chemicals. In addition, the HVAC system was placed in the storage space to help ensure proper ventilation of the heat pumps. The entire lighting system is LED and the clubhouse is equipped with upgraded lighting controls.

The project was completed on time and under budget, providing the City of Fort Worth with a new clubhouse for local golfers and residents to enjoy for years to come.

    Senior Associate | Senior Mechanical Designer

    Gibran Michel has been with BHB since 1996. A year after high school, he started with BHB as a drafter and absorbed as much information as he could concerning HVAC and plumbing design. Since that time, he has gone on to learn what he can about the other engineering tasks that goes into the construction of new buildings and the renovation of existing buildings. With this knowledge, he has been able to help his clients from the very start of on their projects. Including site selection, zoning changes, overall site utility advisement, building space planning, and many other tasks that are involved in this process.

    During his design time with BHB, he has worked on everything from a 1,500 square-foot retail space all the way to a 500,000 square-foot distribution center for a major beer supplier. Projects have included schools/universities, churches, hospitals, retail, multi-family, high-rise buildings, warehouses, and everything in between.

    After 20 years of design experience over thousands of projects, he began developing good relationships with clients that started pulling him away from the day-to-day design of their projects and turned him into the direct contact for the client. For BHB, Gibran become an overall project manager that was able to coordinate design efforts for all the engineering for his clients’ projects as well as a focal point within the company for projects that had difficulties during construction.

    When he is not working, he likes to spend time with his wife, Molley, along with working out 4 to 5 times a week. His favorite place to vacation is the Caribbean with its’ warm weather and great beaches. You can also ask him about his own experiences handling home repairs, building a 200-foot-long railroad tie retaining wall or updating a 100+ year old cabin on his family property outside Lampasas, Texas.
