Spurgin & Associates Architects LLC
Our Services
Spurgin & Associates Architects provides a full range of professional planning and design services. Of course we offer the full compliment of building design services including schematic design, design development & construction documents, bidding and negotiation assistance, and contract administration. But we can also assist our clients with site planning, site feasibility studies, space programming and planning, as well as assistance with interior and exterior material and color selections. If necessary we can provide budget assistance via our professional estimating consultant.
Our Projects
Spurgin & Associates Architects has worked on projects with construction values ranging from $100K to $7M. Our projects include private sector office, medical and professional buildings; school athletics facilities from concessions and teamroom buildings to bleachers and grandstands, and from tennis courts to indoor football fields; municipal facilities including office, courts and recreation buildings, fleet maintenance facilities and fire stations; community college fire academy training facilities; industrial facilities from shops and warehouses to office finishout in airplane hangars; and county government facilities from office buildings to event centers, from amphitheaters to indigent care centers, and modifications in juvenile probation offices to adult prisons to courthouses. Our firm handles it all: remodels, tenant finishout and new ground-up buildings.
Our Firm
Spurgin & Associates Architects LLC operates as a Single Member S-Corp and we purposefully remain a small firm working closely with our chosen civil, structural and MEP consulting engineers who are also small, local firms. We strongly believe that our limited staffing does not limit our capabilities but ensures unlimited client contact and involvement with the firms' respective principals and owners, the guys whose names are on the door, from schematic design to move-in and beyond, virtually assuring the desired results in a timely and successfully completed project. Our growing list of repeat clients attests to our ability to create enduring architecture as well as lifelong professional relationships.
Our Location
Spurgin & Associates Architects' sole office is located at 1216 N Central Expressway in McKinney, the county seat of Collin County, Texas. McKinney and its historical downtown square has become a destination for dining, shopping and entertainment, and for several years McKinney has been ranked one of the fastest growing cities in the nation, among the best places to live and work in the nation. Likewise, Collin County has similarly been ranked near the top in growth, both locally and nationally. Our firm endeavors to play a vital role in shaping the development, environment, growth and success of the city and region in which we work and live.
Our History
Spurgin & Associates Architects in McKinney, Texas was established 35 years ago in September of 1990 by Mr. Kent Spurgin, Owner, Principal and Sole Proprietor of the firm, and McKinney native. Mr. Spurgin determined his destiny was to be an architect when he was in middle school, took drafting classes in high school and headed for UTA upon HS graduation to embark on his architectural degrees. During under-grad summers, he came back home and worked for a local architect, worked for another local architect near the UTA campus during grad school, and came back home to McKinney to work for the local architect until his retirement shortly after Mr. Spurgin began his own practice in the same office. Much of the work of this firm is in the public sector which was a mainstay of both firms where Mr. Spurgin interned and learned the business.
Our Ongoing Relationships
Spurgin & Associates Architects has been privileged to provide professional design services on approximately 120 projects for Collin County and multiple projects for the Cities of McKinney, The Colony, Lewisville, Celina, Plano and Farmers Branch, as well as McKinney ISD and Collin College. We also have municipal projects in Allen, Anna, Aubrey, Carrollton, Corinth, Desoto, Lancaster, Red Oak, Roanoke, Rockwall, Royse City & Seagoville, together with projects for Lucus Christian Church, Lucas, Texas and First Baptist Church, The Parks Church and Hope Women's Center, all in McKinney, Texas. We have numerous tenant finishout projects for The Cotton Mill in McKinney, Texas and CommunityMed Urgent Care in Arlington, Haslet, Melissa, Princeton & Wichita Falls, Texas.
Current Projects
The Parks Church
The Parks Church owned or recently acquired three adjacent buildings/properties located at 121/129/131 S Tennessee Street in McKinney, Texas. TPC is maintaining the current 121 building and originally planned to simply remodel the 129/131 buildings at project conception but because of the growth rate of the vibrant young church in McKinney's popular historic district they elected to think bigger. The plan was modified to design a new 2-story structure inside the perimeter walls of the 1920s era 129/131 buildings at the request of the City's Historic Preservation Department, but later forensic testing indicated the old structures would not survive the rigors of selective demolition and new construction. The project was modified yet again to completely remove the 129/131 buildings & construct an all-new 2-story building in their place which contain architectural features, brick treatments & design elements which fondly reflect the historic structures.
The Parks Church
The Parks Church new facility is located on 1/3 acre at the NE corner of the S Tennessee Street & E Davis Street intersection, two blocks south of the historic downtown square in McKinney, Texas. TPCs current 1-story 6,000 SF facility is adjacent to their new 2-story 15,800 SF building which provides education space for several hundred 'bigs' & 'littles' on the 1st floor and seating for approximately 500 congregants in the 2nd floor Worship Center.
The Parks Church
The Parks Church will be the first building designed & constructed in compliance with the McKinney Town Center Historic Core Character District Regulations. This character district regulates allowed uses, setbacks, building frontage, building standards such as minimum & maximum number of stories, floor-to-floor heights, and parking/service access. The district includes additional standards relating to frontage on Pedestrian Priority A & B street designations (S Tennessee & E Davis Streets respectively) which seek to maintain coherent urban character & encourage pedestrian-oriented redevelopment via regulating building facades to provide proper pedestrian scale by way of architectural details, ornamentation & fenestration such as pilasters, columns, multiple colors, cornices, awnings, vertically proportioned primary windows with bulkheads below & transom windows above, friezes, arches, and vertical features at entrances.
