SustainabilitySustainabilitySustainabilityThe idea behind sustainable design is not only to create environmentally friendly spaces, but healthier, more

productive environments. Using green building techniques also helps reduce energy costs, real-estate costs, life-cycle costs, all while improving the occupants image.

Mekus Tanager has been practicing sustainable design for over 28 years, and is a member of the US Green Building Council. Since our founding we have worked to develop strategies for the design of long lasting buildings and spaces, and with each project we take great care in researching and implementing sustainable design

solutions.

Mekus Tanager was proud to work with the Archdiocese of Chicago to complete the All Saints Chapels and Administration Complex, which was certifi ed LEED-NC

Gold. Our project for Milestone AV Technologies, which was recently completed, is expected to be certifi ed LEED-CI

Silver. Mekus Tanager has also been a long time consultant of the federal government, and the US Citizenship and Immigration Offi ce and the Department of Education Offi ce are both LEED certifi ed. Mekus Tanager also designed the interior for the FBI regional offi ces in Chicago which achieved a LEED-EB Platinum certifi cation rating.

Garden crypt complexes and mausoleums are becoming increasingly common in the modern cemetery. Since burial space is often at a premium, especially for older cemeteries, garden crypt buildings and mausoleums are popular because they allow for an expanded burial inventory within a certain area.

Additional benefi ts of a well-designed garden crypt building or mausoleum include: increased revenue per burial space, increased marketability for the cemetery, increased fl exibility for a greater variety of inventory, and they also enhance the image and atmosphere of the cemetery. Garden crypts and mausoleums also provide interment spaces for those with an aversion to in-ground burial.

Garden crypt buildings can also include features such as committal shelters, chapels, fountains, seating areas, and peaceful areas for refl ection.

Cremation is a major part of the cemetery and funeral industry, and has been increasing at a rapid rate each year because as the baby-boomer generation increases in age, they are demanding more burial opportunities for themselves and their loved ones. The objective of the cemeterian is to provide unique and special burial considerations for all their clients.

At Mekus Tanager, a consistent part of our cemetery and funeral home design has included special considerations for cremation. For example Mekus Tanager specifi cally designed niche sections on a separate level in the garden crypt complex to allow for expanded cremation burial opportunities for Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Alsip, Illinois. As part of the design team for the new Miramar National Cemetery, Mekus Tanager developed numerous columbariums of various sizes to be incorporated throughout the cemetery. Part of working with our clients as a partner is helping them to achieve their goals. At Mekus Tanager we specialize in timeless cemetery design and also incorporating the current demands of the cemetery industry.

Master planning is an essential process for any cemetery, funeral home, or place of worship, and the benefi ts of developing and implementing a master plan are immense. A master plan allows a client to identify short and long term needs, map their overall strategy and goals, and have a logical and realistic implementation plan for a variety of projects based on need.

A well developed master plan will optimize land utilization, while at the same time improving the overall aesthetic of a cemetery or campus by incorporating a variety of features and buildings into a tasteful, coordinated, and cohesive plan. Furthermore an aesthetically pleasing cemetery increases the marketability of the cemetery.

A well developed master plan also includes feasibility studies, both to evaluate existing facilities to determine their long-term sustainability and how they support a client’s goals and needs, and also to analyze the value and return on a variety of future projects. For future projects, master planning can allow for phased project implementation, allowing a client to balance development costs with revenue and expand inventory based on need. Another benefi t to master planning is that it can improve pedestrian and vehicular fl ow and access, and eff ective design cues can serve to help people navigate a cemetery or campus with ease.

Whether you require a master plan for a new development or you wish to develop a plan for an existing property, the master planning process provides a proactive road map rather than a reactive one.

Administration buildings play a vital role in the operation of any cemetery. Administration buildings often perform multiple roles, from selling grave sites and crypt spaces, to coordinating cemetery maintenance and operations, or simply providing chapel space to hold memorial services for a family. Because of the varying support functions they are used for, administration buildings must be increasingly more fl exible in how their space can be confi gured to suit the needs of the cemetery.

Maintenance buildings play an intergral role in cemetery operations. They provide a space to store and maintain essential equipment, a place for the storage of necessary materials, and also can provide locker rooms, break areas, rest rooms, and a refueling station.

Funeral homes play an important role in the cemetery and funeral industry. Often the place of transition between death and interment, funeral homes are responsible for not only preparing the body for interment but also provide visitation services and a place of comfort for the family. Because of the varying demands from family members and the other support functions they must perform, funeral homes increasingly need to be adaptable spaces where one room can serve multiple functions depending on need.

Mekus Tanager has experience in funeral home design. Whether the funeral home is a stand alone building or part of an administration complex, Mekus Tanager can design the facility to accommodate any needs, including the incorporation of: reception areas, chapels or service halls, family rooms, arrangement rooms, lounges, conference rooms, cemetery or funeral home offi ces / sales offi ces, body preparation, crematoriums, or any need that may arise. Mekus Tanager also specializes in designing buildings for phased construction and expansion opportunities. Whatever your goals and needs are related to funeral homes, Mekus Tanager can assist in any phase of the project.

The role that religious institutions play in the lives of their congregation is invaluable. As many religious institutions look to further enrich the lives of their congregation, they are increasingly holding a variety of events within their facilities. Because of this, modern religious institutions need to be able to have multi-purposed facilities capable of holding large congregations while at the same time off ering numerous non-traditional activity spaces.

Mekus Tanager has vast experience in the architecture and design of religious buildings of all denominations. Whether the project is to: master plan a new campus, design a new building to support the overall function of an existing campus, design a new building that is multi-faceted and can operate alone, or the expansion of an existing building, Mekus Tanager can work with you to best serve your goals and needs with regards to any religious buildings.
