Over the past several weeks, the building committee has been working with our design team at Meacham and Apel to refine the building design to meet several site-specific issues.
One of the major developments in the plan involves the connector between the new facility and the existing building. The original plan called for an 11 foot wide connector hallway to join the two structures......(click on the pictures for a closer look)
As the design process moved forward, it became apparent that the "tunnel" solution was inadequate for a variety of reasons, mainly because the slope of the connector would have been too steep for easy passage.
So the creative minds went back to the drawing board and created a better connector that feels more like a narthex and less like a tube. The new design includes a wide connector hallway with stairs and a handicap accessible ramp. It's a great solution that falls within the approved project scope and also creates a larger gathering space before and after services.
Cost effective, dynamic solutions like this one prove the value of working with a great design team!
