The
original church is an Aberdeen landmark. The
addition is designed to compliment yet not detract from the existing
church.The church was experiencing
growth in fellowship education and youth needs as well as
accessibility issues. The expansion is designed with two levels of
classrooms adjacent to a large gymnasium space. The "link" between
the existing and the new creates the large fellowship spaces and new
entry with weather protected handicap accessible drop-off.
The addition is zoned in such a way that it can be used
independently from church functions as a community center, thus
enhancing the church’s mission.
