New 20,000SF Replacement Church Project,
This project was a result of the widening and improvements to HWY 515 through Blairsville, GA and east. The existing church property was purchased by GDOT resulting in the need for the replacement project, approximately a quarter mile west.
The new facility provides a 350-seat sanctuary as well as a new fellowship hall and support classrooms and offices. The character and design approach was to utilize the existing building design as a palate and utilize a steel building main structural frame to reduce costs.
