First Presbyterian Church Expansion / Jackson, MS - Our firm provided services for the expansion of the current sanctuary to increase seating capacity from 750 to 1,400. Our team reviewed the concept of building a new sanctuary and investigated three potential sites. We then were commissioned with providing two concepts to enlarge the current sanctuary to expand the facility. The final concept provided for the complete rebuilding of the sanctuary seating area and widening the chancel area to accommodate a large choir loft and thereby enhancing sightlines. 2007 MS Builders and Contractors Merit Award Best of ’08, Judges Award for Design by South Central Construction. This 49008 SF project (Additions 16,825 SF; Renovated 32,183 SF) was completed in 2007 with a construction cost of $9.2 million.
