Programming
Our years of experience will be beneficial to you and your building committee, as we
work together to create a building plan that is both beautiful and functional. As you begin
contemplating the vision that the Lord has given you regarding your new building, it is
essential to develop a list of needs/wants (program) for the components that will be a part
of the new building(s) and overall masterplan. The R. Messner Design Team will use this
specific list of needs/wants to help formulate a functional floorplan that is relevant to the
overall masterplan by analyzing and considering the square footage requirements and
placement/relationship requirements of each desired ministry area. We will also be able
to determine whether the square footage needed for your list of needs/wants lines up with
the budget, which may ultimately dictate the Phase-1 building square footage and future
phasing options.
Some of the key elements of your program list should include your desired number of seats in
sanctuary, number of classrooms, number of offices, etc. For reference, we have listed below
some of the main use-areas of a church that may be applicable to your project: |
