Encounter Ministries is located at the heart of ISU campus. With a goal of creating a welcoming and inviting space for college students, the building will undergo an addition and expansion. The front entrance of the building will be extended out as a landmark of the space. Directly at the entrance will be a coffee lounge for study and connection. This space can be transformed into a 375 seat worship space for dedicated ministry nights. The west side of the building will feature a staff headquarters space, with offices, private rooms, and a meeting room. There will also be a space for the growing internship program, with offices specifically for interns, team spaces for collaboration and connection, and 3 counselling offices with a private entrance and parking lot.
While the group sought to meet their growing internship program, they also needed upgrades to make the space more inviting to students on campus.
The new space will feature dedicated intern offices, meeting spaces, counselling offices, and collaboration spaces for studying and connection.
The project at TRIAD High School includes an 818-seat auditorium, complete with a balcony and stage, designed to accommodate up to 120 musicians and theatrical performances. The theater and multi-purpose room feature modern audio-visual systems, as well as cutting-edge theatrical lighting and rigging within the performance space. The addition also consists of four classrooms, averaging 865 square feet each, and a 1,700 square foot commons area for performing arts students and instructional use.
The new ALAH High School project will be a drastic change for the growing district. With an all new High School building, the district will be able to expand and plan for the future. The space will have numerous flexible collaboration zones where students can work in groups or collaborate with other classrooms. Flexible furniture will be throughout the space, allowing for each classroom to have the capability to do all kinds of learning, whether that be individual or group projects.
The 14,850-square-foot facility will serve as a hub for imagination, creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship, featuring prototyping tools, an amphitheater, collaborative meeting and teaching spaces, a test kitchen, 3D printers, sewing machines, power tools, audio/video equipment and more.
