Scope Of Work
A new 3,000-seat sanctuary with a single balcony accommodates a range of worship experiences and allows dramatic changes between services. The acoustical environment reinforces choir, band and congregation without sacrificing clarity of the spoken word. A partial lower level provides a suite of choral and instrumental worship areas. A “Commons” serves as pre-function gathering space, overflow seating, and a setting for large group programming. Features include catwalk system allowing access to fully-adjustable, theatre-type lighting, isolating construction allows rehearsal concurrent with services, motorized 24-foot wide rear projection screen masks choir loft and provides backdrop for contemporary worship, former worship space renovated as classroom and assembly building.
