High-end finishes abound throughout the sanctuary creating an unforgettable worship experience.

The project includes a tie-in to the church’s existing facilities and was completed in the middle of an extremely active existing campus, accommodating thousands of weekly visitors. Safety was a top priority and required daily coordination between the project team and the client.

Constructed on a fast-track schedule, the team implemented many lean construction techniques to ensure the new space was completed and available to the public on schedule. In addition, significant sustainable design and construction methods were implemented throughout the project.
