Growing Church | Master Plan
Evergreen Church is located in Hudsonville, Michigan. Blessed with a growing attendance their existing facility needs to expand to provide additional children space and meeting space.
Serve Studio was hired to update their Master Plan and design and develop Phase One. The existing contemporary church is organized around an interior courtyard space (narthex) that provides access to the auditorium and children’s spaces. The master plan has several goals, phasing that will adapt to growing attendance, phasing allowing for incremental fund raising, flexible spaces that will have multiple functions and the final auditorium for 1500 people.
Serve Studio created an analysis of the population based on 5 year increments as it related to overall growth, age groups, and projected growth, based on a 1500 seat auditorium. This analysis allowed us to provide a comprehensive program that outlined the required square footage for each phase. Phase One will be a classroom and meeting room addition, Phase Two will be a multi-purpose room and Phase Three will be the new auditorium with expanded gathering space and support spaces and repurposed spaces in the former auditorium.
Serve Studio created a final Master Plan deliverable that included phasing plans and preliminary rendering s of the proposed expansions.
