Shawnee Park Christian Reformed Church required an expanded educational wing to accommodate ministry programs. The addition includes nursery, multi-purpose and fellowship spaces, restrooms and an elevator. A new nursery pick-up entry was also added. The addition utilizes a curved wall to the west of the existing building to organize both circulation from the sanctuary and entry at the new fellowship hall. A variety of sizes of the spaces in the addition allows for flexibility of use. The design solution attempts to preserve the architectural character of the existing structure while negotiating a sloping site.
