This 11,130 s.f. addition and renovation to the church's reception hall included arrival and meeting space, a food service area, two exterior patios, and assembly and performance space as required by a wide variety of community users. The arrival space on site creates a welcome outdoor gathering area while allowing for a much needed loading and unloading space before and after large events. Ramps are worked into the design for proper handicap access that looks integral to the plaza. The design team worked with current landscape maintenance staff to create opportunities for seasonal planting displays.
