BEHOLD Building Project Overview: 1. How did we get here? The Building
Use Committee was formed in 2004 to study the use of the building by all
ministries and interested parishioners. An extensive report was
prepared in early 2005 that made recommendations to the vestry and
prioritized additional space requirements to serve existing ministries.
In 2005, the Facility Visioning Committee was formed to turn the
requirements into a plan. An Architect was hired and the vision was
presented to the parish. In 2006 the Campaign Exploratory Committee was
formed to ‘explore’ the feasibility of a Capital Campaign. RSI was
hired in 2007 to guide us and help us understand our true potential.
Vestry approved a Capital Campaign. The Facility Visioning Committee 2
was formed in the summer of 2008 to finalize the construction documents
and supervise the construction process.
2. What does it address?The
Building Use Committee uncovered certain needs. This project addresses
accessibility, nursery/multi-use rooms to support Christian Formation
and other meetings, and kitchen renovation.
3.What is
the scope of the project? How many
sq. ft. of new space? How many sq. ft. of renovated space?The 2-story
with partial basement addition will be located south of the Big Bend
entrance. It will consist of 7100 new square feet consisting of(6) 500
square feet classrooms, (1) 250 square foot classroom, (1)storage room,
(1) elevator servicing three levels, (1) stairway serving three levels
and (1) new entry. In addition, 2400 square feet of the existing
building will be renovated: specifically the Kitchen, 2nd floor offices
as well as cosmetic upgrades to the dining room and other common areas.
4. What will be the benefits to people?All three
floors of Emmanuel Church (with the exception of Jones Hall) will be
accessible via elevator and stairs. The nursery and Christian Formation
rooms will be more conveniently located. There will be more classroom
space for Christian Formation on Sundays and for small group meetings
during the week. The kitchen space and appliances will be more
efficient and updated. 6. What about Jones Hall?The Facilities
Visioning Committee considered renovating Jones Hall first,but the
costs did not justify this approach. For the same amount of money as we
will spend on our current plan, we would be able to bring Jones Hall “up
to code,” but not gain any additional space. We would lose the third
floor and its three classrooms, since there is only one emergency fire
exit. The renovation of Jones Hall will remain a prospect for a later
phase of Emmanuel’s building program.
7. Is expansion possible in the future?Yes, the design of the addition considers future growth on the south side of the property.
8. When did the project start? Finish? Ground breaking ceremony was held on April 26, 2009. Construction was completed in 2010.
9. Who was our architectural firm? Riddle Design
is our architectural firm. They were selected by the Facility Visioning
Committee in 2005 (and approved by the Vestry) after an extensive
evaluation and bidding process. www.riddledesign.us
10. What additional operating expenses will we incur after the building is completed? There will
be a percentage increase in utilities. Some of this may be offset by
increased energy efficiency of new appliances. A revised
sexton schedule will accommodate changes to our space without increasing
costs or personnel.
11. What will the exterior materials consist of?The exterior of the addition will be made of complimentary materials to the stone of the church (most likely a masonry product).
