The thriving Bettendorf Christian Church was in need of a long range plan for facility growth with a focus on improved traffic flow and versatile spaces for gathering, activities and administration.
After several meetings with each ministry user group to establish their current and future needs along with their long term goals, a multi-phased master plan was developed that would satisfy the needs of Bettendorf Christian Church for the next ten to fifteen years.
- 850 Seat Sanctuary/Mulri-Purpose Gym
- Administration Suite
- Adult Education Classroom
- Kitchen
- Cafe
- Lounge
- Gather Spaces
Branded environments help visitors and members easily find their way around the space.
Wooden slats act as a divider but also a reminder of the mission.
Vibrant wall graphics appeal to children and make the space more fun and inviting.
As a result of developing a master plan, a fellowship hall was constructed to connect the church’s three buildings into one contiguous facility. The fellowship hall was designed to accommodate a temporary worship setting during subsequent phases when the 1895 sanctuary building was being refurbished.
BLDD designed a new facility to replace Bethany’s existing church and to provide much needed space for this growing congregation. The 50-acre site was master planned for 1,200 parking spaces with site amenities including a water feature, vehicular circulation, softball field, soccer field, and a picnic shelter.
St. John's Lutheran Church in Bloomington, IL has a large building with multiple floor levels and entrances. BLDD was hired to create a master plan that would accommodate growth in their various kids ministries and worship services. After much collaboration, a two-phase plan was created to renovate the existing 10,000 sq. ft and create a 10,000 sq. ft addition.
