THE EXISTING building, which includes a sanctuary, an office wing, a school wing, a chapel and a Fellowship Hall is an iconic structure in Medford.
THE FELLOWSHIP Hall, the Kitchen and the attached restrooms had not been updated since the building was constructed and needed some serious upgrades.
THE FELLOWSHIP Hall no longer accommodated the outreach mission of the congregation.
THE BUILDING was constructed in the 1960s and didn’t have a lot of extra room in the restroom area, as was common practice at the time the building was designed.
WITH A CAREFUL reallocation of space we were able to create restrooms meeting current accessibility requirements without reducing the fixture count, and still upgrade the finishes.
AT THE SAME time we reconfigured the kitchen space for better flow and to accommodate newer, larger service equipment.
WE ALSO reworked the existing stage area, no longer used, into a multi-level storage area for the Food Pantry.
