CHALLENGES:
Existing building was cramped on space but had the luxury of being on a large lot. Lacked designated meeting areas; structure required total renovation.
SOLUTIONS:
Added to the original building, increasing space from 5,000 to 10,000 square feet. Addition included an adult wing with study rooms, seating areas and lounges; administrative offices and a community meeting room with 200-person capacity. Interior of old structure was renovated and remodeled to feature special areas for children, juveniles and teens. Care was taken to ensure exteriors of the original building and the addition were consistent. A portico was installed to secure the main entrance and make the building accessible.
