New News on the NEW Location


So as of today our lease is simply being perused by the lawyers and we should be signing it early tomorrow. If you missed Sunday's announcement, we should be moving into the former Steve's Hardware AKA the Former Furniture and appliance mart in just a few weeks. Our Architect Bill Yudchitz has been hard at work putting together plans and concepts for our space. Presently, we are planning on having our 6th Anniversary Party there on January 29th, and our first Sunday morning in the space Jan 30th. The images below are current discussion points or concepts of how we will make everything in the space modular (meaning we can take it apart and take it with us when we move on from this space. This then enables us to have the vast majority of our investment in this space as a permanent investment. All boards, walls, separators we make we will take with us, and this makes me happy :)
This is the first floor plan we are discussing:


We're also trying to utilize cheap or free materials to do things like separate the sanctuary from the rest of our space. One of the possibilities we had discussed was using industrial cardboard tubes, in a way similar to how Shigeru Ban has built things in the past. This is what the dots around the seating areas indicate. He did this in a Church in Japan in the past, see below. More drawings and details will be forthcoming. Swing back soon for more!
