New Worship Center Dedication Marks Church Expansion
Chapel Hill, NC, April 12, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Holy Trinity Lutheran Church and Lutheran Campus Ministry dedicated a new $3 million worship center on Sunday, February 24. David Clinton, Design Principal for MHAworks, a Carolinas-based architecture firm, led the project team in the design of the 12,000-square-foot facility.
The Rev. Leonard H. Bolick, Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America North Carolina Synod, presided over the ceremony, which was followed by an open house and tour of the new facility located at 300 E. Rosemary Street.
The project consisted of planning, programming, design and construction administration for the expansion of the existing church facilities, as well as a comprehensive renovation to the sanctuary, narthex, library, food service facilities, music room and classrooms.
“The goals of the design were to create an inspirational spiritual environment, based on daylight and exceptional acoustics, while scaling the inherently large structure to fit in the historic residential part of downtown Chapel Hill,” said Clinton.
The facility features several Green building principals, including re-use of a derelict building site, capture and slow release rate of all storm water, low-intensity exterior lighting that does not escape the boundaries of the site, and numerous products with recycled content and locally produced materials.
