Graceway has had the wonderful "problem" of growing attendance to 2,200 on an average weekend, requiring them to evaluate the effectiveness of their campus to serve those who visit it. After an extensive planning exercise, they settled on constructing a new building addition that would provide fellowship and community space to foster conversation and connection. The expansion includes a new "Portico" café, expanded bookstore, nursery/preschool and themed children's spaces, play space with slides and a sports room, ministry rooms, outdoor patio fellowship, a new main entry and plans for improvements to the existing facility facade, including space for the next building phase - a 1,500 seat auditorium.
Acoustic Dimensions provided acoustics design and performance systems input for the entire addition with focus on the "Looking Glass Theatre" and "Worship Falls" children's auditoriums and multi-media rooms.
