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.
A new entry and interior refresh is underway at the Olivet Nazarene University campus. Chalfant Hall is located at the current multipurpose and assembly hall building on the University Campus. This project is in partnership with Doug Bright with Bright Architecture. The build will consist of one exterior and one exterior renovation on the campus.
This $33 million project, which received strong community support with a 70% approval rate, continues to move forward on schedule. The new facility will be located on the Junior/Senior High School campus, creating a more unified educational environment for the district.
