Conceptual designs for our proposed multipurpose building are framed and posted in the sanctuary by the kitchen.

In late January 2009, UUA Consultant Dave Rickard conducted a Confirmation Study (sometimes also called a feasibility study) of our congregation to determine our readiness to support and proceed with this project. The results of the Confirmation Study are in, and there is a lot of good news in it for all of us! You can view, read, download and print the full report above.

The Architect Selection committee and the Board  hired Hoffman Architects, P.A. of Tarpon Springs.  Hoffman has worked with church projects of all sizes. Hoffman associate Erin Ellis is our project manager.  Erin can help us achieve our value of “building as green as we can afford.”

  Frequently Asked Questions – Answers by the Building Design Committee

What happened to the previous Master Plan?

It has been updated.  We will keep the small dome for the time being.  The planning committee will be asking the congregation to help come up with ideas about how we might use that building.

When will the other buildings on the Master Plan be built?

After this building is built, it will probably be 8-10 years before we’re ready to move forward with the next phase. Each phase will be initiated and directed by the congregation. 

What is the current proposed building for?

Our expressed priority for our church was for Religious Education classrooms and additional meeting space. The plans the Building Design Committee developed with our architect will be discussed at the December 14^th congregational meeting; will be posted on the web and in the Domelight.

What happens to the grounds?

The herb and memorial gardens will remain where they are.  Plans are to improve parking and increase the number of handicap parking places.  The playground will remain where it is but we will want to start upgrading the equipment.

Feel free to discuss any other questions with the Board of Trustees, Planning Committee and the Building Design Committee.
