The Zion Lutheran community in Georgetown, Texas, is growing and modernizing, so a new flexible worship and hall space was connected to their traditional church building.
This new addition features an exposed roof design that incorporates natural light and provides views of the preserved heritage trees.
When entering the expanded space, visitors will now be greeted with a historic wall mural linking the old and new structures, as well as a coffee bar in the lobby.
The multi-purpose room has many serving functions, such as providing a modern worship setting, and will be used for receptions, funerals, weddings and other special events.
It will serve as a performing arts center for school programs, plays and concerts, afterschool care and much more.
It is supported by many ancillary spaces, such as a large commercial kitchen, plenty of storage for tables and chairs, and a large welcoming center and lobby.
The expansion and renovation of the chapel’s narthex will provide a large, modern space for congregating and serve as a gateway into the multi-purpose room.
