Through the development of a master plan with BLDD, Calvary began as a two-phase construction project and moved into their current building after completing the first phase in 2002. Phase One was split into two sections, a north wing and east wing. The north wing contains offices, the preschool and classrooms. The east wing holds the worship center, youth area and kitchen. They are connected in the center by the Atrium.
Phase Two, a 20,000 s.f. addition, was designed to be a multi-purpose space for athletics, worship, fellowship, recreation and play. The upper level is designed with a children’s play area, and a coffee bar and welcome desk. An existing storage room was remodeled into an intimate chapel. The lower level is designed with gathering and classroom space for junior and senior high age groups.

The flexible design is used for athletics, worship, fellowship, recreation and play. The upper-level green room and music spaces were designed to connect directly to the back of the chancel for optimal use during worship service.
The multi-purpose venue provides a place for all students, faculty and staff to come together and worship in one place. Amidst a bustling campus it is a sacred place that is inspiring and supports the spiritual life of the campus community. At the same time, it accommodates with excellence a wide range of worship and performance activities and has become an outreach tool for the larger community outside the ONU campus.
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.
Built in 1925, the historic First United Methodist Church of Lincoln, IL, was renovated to restore their aging facilities and add a new accessible entryway and lobby. The new main lobby welcomes visitors with an open and inviting atmosphere that uses the exterior walls of the previous courtyard to blend the historic with the modern design.
