This design complements the sanctuary building and allows it to maintain its status as the focal point of the church campus.  There were two primary opposing issues to be faced in this design: one, the church has a very small restrictive site and two, the church's outreach goals required that the building be large enough to provide a full range of services and activities.  The final design is an ideal fit with their site and their goals and it seamlessly connects to their existing buildings.
