LS3P 

Location: Charlotte, North Carolina

The design for this new 75,000 GSF global broadcast campus for a rapidly-growing church required careful attention to massing, scale, detailing, and wayfinding to break down the massive volume and create a welcoming, human-scale worship environment. The resulting design utilized a materials palette of precast, storefront, and metal panels; careful composition of openings enlivens the façade; and a monumental entry canopy serves as a wayfinding tool from a distance. The transparent, expansive lobby creates a gathering space for the community. The program also features an 1800 seat performing arts auditorium and an engaging, dynamic children’s area.
