The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
Meetinghouse and Multipurpose Facilities

With sites ranging from 2.5 acres to 30 acres and facilities ranging from 11,000 square feet to 24,000 square feet, these multi-use meetinghouses are designed to provide the Owner maximum facility flexibility. Their typical space program includes an indoor basketball and volleyball court, offices, classrooms, kitchen, and baptismal font. The flexibility of the design allows the Owner to combine and divide areas to provide assembly seating from 75 to 750 people, and create smaller meeting/classroom areas from 5 to 75 people. The basketball and volleyball court designs range from 1/2 court to full court layouts; several with hardwood surfaced. Acoustical design attention is given to the chapel, office, and class-room areas and the spaces between the basketball/volleyball areas and the rest of the building.

The different projects are designed to blend in with their context, which ranged from inner-city to mixed-residential/commercial, to all residential. Each site is master-planned to allow the Owner to utilize the portion of the site needed for immediate and future building construction, and to provide the Owner undisturbed portions of the site for growth or resale
