Our firm was hired by the church to study ways to improve and renovate the existing sanctuary built in the 1950s. We studied several ways to reconfigure the chancel area and to make it accessible to people with disabilities. The result is an enlarged chancel area with a wheelchair lift for access. The choir risers were relocated and rebuilt to face the choir toward the congregation to allow for better projection of their voices. All finishes were restored throughout the sanctuary including reupholstering the pews. The acoustical treatment and sound system were also upgraded to today’s standards. The chancel area was also refurbished with a new ceiling, lighting and exterior doors.
