Project Highlights

Completed design for a large, column-free sanctuary space, offices, classrooms, meeting areas, and other support space.
The building uses tilt-up concrete exterior and sanctuary walls with long-span steel joist roof framing with a metal deck roof.
The central dramatic feature of the church is a cross tower formed from three rectangular enclosures, the highest of which is 52’ above grade.
Sanctuary features include sloped seating with a raised stage, acoustical enhancements, an audio/visual control room, and catwalks to provide access to lighting and other accessories.
Second floor framing uses concrete on metal deck slabs on steel framing.
Framing design provides for future expansion to accommodate additional areas of second floor framing.
