Parkview Christian Church – ARCHITECTURE NORTHWEST, PA

The Design

Client: Parkview Christian Church Location: Ustick Road in Meridian, ID

The specific challenges to this project involved the transformation of an existing 9,146 sq. ft. elementary school building that was located on the site into an integral part of the new 27,310 sq. ft. religious facility, which is located on Ustick Road in Meridian. The building expansion included the construction of a new 800 seat worship center, administrative offices, meeting rooms for all ages, new full commercial kitchen, café, and large central foyer. The building’s exterior design was patterned after the massing of the existing school building, adding common roof planes and textures along with the addition of a dominant vertical cross tower placed at the front of the building.

Parkview Christian Church celebrated the completion of their new church project in the summer of 2014.

The existing school portion of this new worship center was remodeled to house the children’s worship center, nursery and meeting rooms along with serving a duel function of hosting large family fellowship gatherings.

The 5 acre site development consisted of the addition of 240 new parking spaces, a separate vehicle maintenance facility, youth playground and activity areas, adult walking paths and the layout for a future amphitheater.
