The
program called for a new church building to house an established
congregation displaced by downtown expansion and an inner city traffic
loop. The facility includes a sanctuary, a chapel and the pastor’s
study on the first floor. A chapel room and conference room are on the mezzanines
above a fellowship hall, classrooms, choir room, library, nursery,
kitchen and mechanical rooms occupy the basement level. The structure is
sandblasted, cast in place, concrete with a precast concrete double-tee
floor system. Gray tinted glass compliment the window opening. The roof utilizes
steel bar joints with a suspended ceiling below. The ceiling height of
the mezzanines, located at either end, has been through a portion of the
sanctuary, creating dramatic high and low vertical volumes. Painted
gypsum board partitions divide interior spaces. Dark stained wood pews
with red cushions and matching carpet highlight the interior house of
worship.
