Trinity Lutheran Church

As Trinity Lutheran Church grew from the initial worship space constructed in the 1950’s, a need for an identifiable entry space became essential. Berger Devine Yaeger’s concept for the fellowship hall addition provides a sense of entry by nestling canopies which increased in stature as one approaches the new front door. A new church community administrative area flanks the dynamically shaped fellowship hall. The original worship space, a traditional basilica plan, was converted into a contemporary worship space by removing pews and placing chairs in a fan-shaped configuration. The original ceiling recessed light cans were removed and a new interior lighting concept was designed. Wall-mounted perimeter metal-halide fixtures up-light the bleached-wood ceiling to provide indirect light for general illumination. Special wall sconces on each column gave sparkling accent lights throughout the worship space. The project won a first-place award for excellence in lighting design. The total project cost was $1,263,228.
