Renovation Church
Blaine, MN
Remodel/Addition
Size: 23,576 sqare foot remodel
Completed: June 2024
Renovation Church was thriving in their location, but quickly running out of space. To continue to serve the community, they needed to expand their capacity. Our team partnered with Renovation Church to develop a renovation and expansion plan that amplified the positive elements of the Phase 1 building, effectively doubling capacity.
The new additions were designed with the community in mind, creating spaces that naturally draw people in and encourage connection. The entrances, flanked by large gathering spaces, serve as inviting transitions from the outside world to the warmth and light within, where natural light pours through expansive windows, brightening the interiors and creating an atmosphere of openness and welcome.
Inside, the remodeled spaces are both functional and inviting, with thoughtful touches like natural wood tones and pops of color that add warmth and character. The design ensures smooth movement through the building, guiding people effortlessly from one area to another and reducing bottlenecks. This careful planning helps everyone, from the youngest children to the elderly, feel comfortable and at ease as they navigate the church.
The phased construction approach allowed the church to remain a vibrant hub for the community throughout the renovation, with outdoor services bringing people together even as the work progressed. The technical challenges, including expanding tight hallways and addressing site infrastructure, were met with creative solutions that ensured the new spaces not only meet current needs but also foster deeper community connections for years to come.
