Calvary Pentecostal Church
Cambridge, ON
Originally RRL was
retained to provide a masterplan to renovate the entire Church
facility and to maximize its potential along one of the busiest
streets in Cambridge.
The first phase of the redevelopment
was to construct a new Town Hall expansion and a new glazed
Playground area that flanks three levels of Children /
Youth area. The Town Hall was designed to relieve the congested
existing Lobby and to provide a grand "first impression" to
the people coming into the Church. Once in the Town Hall
the three levels of the Children's and Youth Ministry area
were reorganized
to allow for ease of access and clearly defining their
location for first time visitors.
The Children and Youth Ministry
area was designed to be widely interactive and thematical
with large spaces to be high touch, high sense and high
feel. The architecture and interiors of these spaces were
to compliment the high energy programmes and exuberance
of the kids.
