The achievement of a “Spiritual Path to the
Sacred Space” presented a complex, three dimensional challenge in
the master planning for the expansion of this large Gothic
Revival church facility constructed in 1928 and listed on the Register
of Historic Places. The solution was found in the creation of
a 3rd floor, street-level, vehicular bridge creating a covered automobile
drop-off and visitor parking at the Sanctuary level of the
facility. The newly configured and more visible entrance is immediately adjacent
to a Welcome Center and Administrative Center. In addition
to the worship and educational functions, the expansion houses
the Signature Community Ministries including a fully-licensed Child Care Center
with a capacity of 200 , a Youth Center for educational, performance,
and recreational activities, and a 200-unit Senior Housing Facility
primarily for independent living but with ancillary health care
capability. |
