Salvation Army, Kitchener Corps.
Kitchener, ON

RRL was contracted to design a new worship facility for the Salvation Army in Kitchener.

The church includes an open concept sanctuary that can seat 400 comfortably and has the flexibility to expand its seating up to 600 seats through the use of the Fellowship Hall and Lobby overflow areas. It also includes a full gym and a complete kitchen area to allow a variety of venues for serving coffee, luncheons, socials or banquets.

The building is designed with apparent sloping planes to reflect the residential character of the neighborhood in which it is located. A mixture of stone work, brick masonry and acrylic stucco carve the exterior vernacular of the building to reduce the massive size of the structure and provide aesthetic detail to the building envelope.
