Fellowship Hall Renovation & Addition
Project Details: The church desired to increase the size and flow of their fellowship hall and address fragmentation of spaces following 6 separate additions since the building was first constructed in the late 1800’s. The existing space layout prevented the congregation from assembling in any space other than the sanctuary.
The project provided for over 5,000 square feet of interior renovated space and over 2,000 square feet of a separate addition. Fully ADA compliant restrooms and access to the fellowship hall was provided, and renovated spaces included the fellowship hall, kitchen, nursery, bible-school rooms, and circulation.
