Boulevard Church Master Plan - Anderson, SC

Project:

Master Plan Study

Client:

Boulevard Baptist Church
Anderson, South Carolina

Scope:

Boulevard Baptist Church commissioned Design South to develop a master plan of their existing Church campus located in the Boulevard Historic District of the City of Anderson. Specifically, the master plan focuses on the placement of a new Christian Activities Center (CAC) which includes a gymnasium, elevated walking track, locker rooms, fellowship hall, commercial kitchen, as well as adult and youth activity spaces.

Wishing to maintain good relations with the surrounding residential community and in consideration of scheduling and logistical concerns, Boulevard Baptist decided to explore an alternative to the building addition design, envisioning the new building occurring across the residential street on a small (1.1 acres) but completely buildable site. This second design scheme also remedied the complicated operational, logistical and structural concerns raised by the building addition design. After presentations of this second design scheme to the Building Committee and congregation as a whole, Boulevard Baptist directed Design South to proceed with the new Christian Activities Center project.
