Local employee-owned business responsible for pivotal projects in Southern California
San Diego, CA (October 9, 2023) – Erickson-Hall Construction Co. has successfully completed the Ocean View Church Children’s Building project. The company was selected for this project, based on its extensive experience in delivering quality results through construction management.
“Ocean View Church in San Diego is humbled to provide the community with a safe and beautiful place to gather on Sunday mornings and send children to school throughout the week. The Church has been supernaturally led to this opportunity to expand our campus with a world-class soccer arena and a new classroom building for the kids of South Bay,” said Lead Pastor Steve Boschen. “Erickson-Hall was the perfect partner for these updates to our space. Not only does their team possess all the technical skills needed to make the construction renovations quickly and without flaw, but they also deeply understand the importance of creating functional and enjoyable spaces for communities to gather. They did an excellent job, and we are so excited to use these facilities for years to come.”
The scope of the project included the demolition of the existing softball field to be converted into a new soccer field as the Church launched its new soccer program. In line with the Ocean View Church expansion plans, the new soccer field features artificial turf and batter boards surrounding the exterior, team bench dugouts, new bleacher seating, new sidewalks, DG walkways and ramps to ensure accessibility for all.
The existing parking lot was demolished and converted into the new children’s ministry building. This newly constructed building houses four classrooms, two single restrooms, two ADA-accessible bathrooms, a multi-use space, a lobby/corridor, a resource room and an exterior design/build canopy.
To improve the overall site and environmental sustainability, Erickson-Hall incorporated three new bioretention basins, stairs and a grass slope adjacent to the soccer field. These new additions not only enhance the aesthetics of the area but also contribute to responsible water management.
“Erickson-Hall was excited to partner with Ocean View Church in creating these new functional and fun spaces for the community to enjoy,” said President of Erickson-Hall, Mat Gates. “The new soccer field will be a fantastic addition, and the new children’s ministry building will provide state of the art spaces for both Church staff and all of the children they serve, a place to teach and learn. Erickson-Hall loved the opportunity to incorporate environmental sustainability features to the soccer field as well, making the space beneficial to both the community and the surrounding environments.”
