What's Next?
- new sanctuary seating 275, plus 25-30 in choir
- short aisle (modified “in-the-round”, like current worship center)
- larger altar area
- integral Baptismal font
- space for organ and piano, with good acoustics throughout
- full-scope sacristy, plus area near altar for celebrants to robe
- spacious, sound-deadening lobby or entry
- chapel to seat 30-50
- courtyard for reflection, meditation, and interment
- visible from both Tramway & Tennyson avenues and distinctive as a church (bell tower?)
10 classrooms (6 current, 4 new; perhaps remodeling Commons?)
- 1 nursery (current is too small)
- 1 pre-school (current is too small)
- 4 elementary school (probably not practical to share 2 with Family Cooperative Pre-School)
- 1 middle school (current OK)
- 1 high school (larger to allow “hanging out”)
- 1 choir/adult education (remodeled Commons with higher ceilings?)
- 1 library/conference room/Vestry/adult education
Play yard (visible from fellowship hall)
- fellowship hall double the size of current Commons (current worship center would
work well, as envisioned in 1982 Master Plan)
- kitchen & pantry (current kitchen would work well, as envisioned in 1982 Master Plan)
- covered outdoor courtyard
- 4 (2 existing)(rector, assistant, deacon, Christian Education Director?)
- 1 reception area – secretary plus desk area for treasurer, etc.
- 1 administrative work room
- Bathrooms to be sufficient (include showers for youth overnighters)
- Storage sufficient for all functional areas
- Parking as needed (approximately twice the current 94 spaces)
- Character consistent with current worship, interior, & architectural styles
- Consider possible views

Include in Request For Proposal to be issued to short-listed architects
Facility goals/requirements will be continuously refined based on
- Short-listed architects’ preliminary ideas
- Selected architect’s possible concepts
