We were informed that it would take up to four months before Cities Edge would have time to work on the construction drawings. We also learned that the architect who designed our original church building as well as the concept plan for our new addition would be retiring. The Finance/Building teams met jointly and decided to consider exploring other architectural firms. In March we met with a representative from HGA, a Minneapolis firm which specializes in church design. Prior to this meeting some members of our committee visited churches designed by this firm and were impressed by what they saw. We hope that in the next few weeks, we will find out whether it will work out for us to use HGA. If it does, we will be going through a process of getting plans and drawings developed and then deciding the best method for contracting the project. We hope that we will be able to start yet this year, but there is still a lot of work ahead of us before we will have final, complete blueprints and specifications ready. We do feel we can benefit greatly from using the services of an architect with expertise in designing churches even if it means that we don’t get started this year. We believe it is important to do this project right. http://www.unitycrc.org/building_expansion/may_2006_buildi/ http://www.unitycrc.org/building_expansion/may_2006_buildi/ Building Expansion Wed, 17 May 2006 15:38:21 -0600
