Metropolitan Community Church of Greater St. Louis

Project Description:

LNB established an in-depth architectural program designed to identify the exact needs of a congregation of 400 people. B implementing Creativity beyond conventional thinking to LNB provided a phased cost conscious adaptive reuse of an existing 38 year-old office warehouse building into an attractive state-of-the-art contemporary worship, education, and community service facility. Utilizing a creative design, while adhering to a tight budget, timeframe, ADA compliance and LEED certificate qualifications was a challenge that LNB successfully addressed in this project. In addition to space planning for a complete interior renovation of a warehouse space, superior acoustics and high-tech were addressed for the Sanctuary, Chapel, Fellowship Hall, and various support spaces including a kitchen. The main facade of the building was re-oriented to address a major thoroughfare and create a new main exterior entrance and spire.
