ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH

Zion Lutheran Church, a $3.5 million addition and renovation project, was completed in January 2009. Construction included a 9,240-square-foot addition that serves as the multipurpose room for the growing congregation, infrastructure upgrades to mechanical and electrical systems and renovations to the sanctuary, lobby and corridor as well as a new parking lot. Intricate improvements and repairs were also made to the stained glass window in the sanctuary.

The church did not relocate services, including worship, administrative, preschool, and other charitable activities. Therefore, it was imperative that the church’s daily operations continue throughout construction. This required careful planning to keep the project on schedule.

Due to the extensive daily use of the facility, the construction team needed to remain flexible and adapt to the owner’s continuously changing needs. Miller Davis, in collaboration with the owner, architect, and subcontractors, developed a comprehensive phasing plan that accommodated church operations as well as construction.
