Grace United Methodist has been experiencing growth in their congregation and in response needed some extra space to meet the needs of their community. Lorenz Architecture's design team met with the building committee and developed various programs that could satisfy their current and future needs. After presenting these options to the church, the decision was made to proceed with a 20,000 SF two-story addition that would serve as a classroom and education building. The Youth department would occupy the upper floor and the lower floor includes a commercial kitchen, additional meeting rooms and offices. In order to properly blend the addition with the existing buildings, the design team designed the building using standard construction with a brick exterior and a shingled roof.
