Molnar Jordan & Associates, Inc. has experience designing churches and worship centers from new buildings to major renovations to match our client’s needs. Some of these projects include:
Holy Vietnamese Martyrs Catholic Church (Norcross, GA)
A new ground-up 24,400 square foot cruciform building which includes a 1,120-seat nave and a 144-seat chapel. The building is highly visible from I-85 and includes several unique features such as Vietnamese influenced design elements on a traditional Catholic Church building, a shared tabernacle element with openings between the chapel and nave, and a large immersion type baptistry font in the narthex, which is rare in Catholic churches. MEP design challenges included vaulted ceilings separating the Nave and Chapel as well as each end of the narthex, concealing AV items, screening of rooftop components, routing ducts in bulkheads above the aisles, and concealing slot diffusers in architectural trim.
First Congregational Church Renovations (Atlanta, GA)
A renovation of a 100-year-old historically black church which had been vacant and fallen into disrepair. The three-story building included a 480-seat sanctuary with a balcony, a 1,275 square foot parish hall, a nursery, classroom and gathering spaces, office and administrative spaces, and a full commercial kitchen. HVAC systems included an air-cooled chiller with large rooftop AHU’s serving the sanctuary and distributed fan coil units serving all other areas. Design challenges included designing duct distribution in an existing building which was not originally intended to be air conditioned which involved concealing ducts above the sanctuary ceiling and below the balcony, implementing AV in a historic building, adding duct silencers to limit HVAC acoustics, and hiding large commercial HVAC equipment on the roof and within the footprint of a historic building.
Atlanta Unity Church (Norcross, GA)
Atlanta Unity Church decided to buy an existing office building and convert the structure to a place of worship. The existing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing components of the building were analyzed for possible reuse. A detailed report assessing the MEP systems functionality and possibility for reuse was submitted. Once the project was underway, mechanical design included complete load calculations, unit selections, distribution design, and noise criteria design to meet the owner’s intended use. Electrical design included metering and providing panels for the new interior layout. Plumbing design included providing sanitary, water, and natural gas for the new layout.
