space maximized to meet growing needs

Covenant Fellowship Church Administration Wing – Glenn Mills, PA, USA

This church was ready to expand into a second floor space that had been left raw when initially constructed. An elevator and two stair accesses were created to this new administrative and educational space. The public stairway needed to be grand and welcoming from the main lobby; the private stairway allowed an internal connection between office spaces. Height and natural lighting challenges were faced when developing an ambitious plan to fit the most program into the limited square footage available (5,750 sq. ft.). These challenges were overcome with creative planning and the addition of skylights.  A large multipurpose room could be divided into two smaller spaces by the use of a folding partition. An extra mezzanine was possible in the office area due to the existing roof’s form.

I was project architect from programming through construction administration for this project while working at Daley + Jalboot Architects.
