Capital Christian Center

Sacramento, CA

Vision

Renovate close to 50,000 s.f. of the main sanctuary building, built and designed in the 1980s to reflect a bright, modern, ministry-effective space that suits a diverse congregation.

Challenge

Create new designs and finishes for several outdated rooms, including the 2,500-seat sanctuary and 300-seat chapel very quickly in order to meet deadline.
Address the following:

Dark, cave-like feel in the concourse
Worn carpet, pews, and furniture
Lighting not energy efficient
Stage not large enough
Heavy wooden choir risers too bulky
Update audio/video technology
Café area not properly functioning as a “Third Place”
Chapel too outdated for upcoming weddings and other traditional events
Restrooms uninviting and antiquated, high-water use plumbing fixtures
Directional signage insufficient
Inadequate as-built plans

Complete all demolition, construction and add new furnishings within 8 weeks for a major concert event.
Church had to relocate all services to another building during construction.

Solution

Re-create all as-built architectural plans to produce a basis for the design build team.
Completely gut sanctuary, concourse, restrooms, chapel, and additional hallways and rooms for new flooring, paint, lighting, ceilings, furnishings, and more.
Work with creative, ministry-minded interior designers.
Replace pews with Definity seating, which creates lines between pew seats.
ALL WORK COMPLETED ON TIME for the event!
Great response and delight by congregation.
