Campus Master Plan Presentation #3 January 26, 2020 What is a Campus Master Plan? A roadmap document that guides the decision making process for the physical development of the campus. Believing the campus has the potential to manifest the
The Master Plan increases opportunities for staff collaboration by: Centralizing administrative functions; Providing a combination of open and walled office spaces to balance interactivity and privacy; Integrating technology into spaces that enables simple remote participation (video conferencing); Providing space for community collaboration (3rd Space, Epiphany, Café-like workspace)
The Master Plan magnifies the relevance of FPC within Midtown by: Marrying traditional stone structure with new spaces that honor FPC’s important history and reveal today’s vibrant spirit; Complementing the architecture of north midtown as an arts and culture center; Connecting to Midtown through improved street-scapes facing Peachtree, 16th and Art Center Way; Expanding the capacity for shared programming with Midtown neighbors
The Master Plan promotes community and encourages members, friends, and the Midtown community to come together by: Integrating common areas and circulation to promote lingering and unplanned social interactions; Making places for unstructured activities more visible, such as recreation, 3rd space, displays; Providing common areas that improve flow during weddings, funerals, and other community events; Providing space for community partners (Samaritan, Epiphany, etc.);
The Master Plan grows FPC’s offerings for spiritual formation and the arts by: Increasing the number, variety and quality of ‘sacred spaces’ on campus; Improving the visibility and access to School of Fine Arts and orienting to the HIGH; Providing gathering space outside of classrooms so classroom conversations continue informally; Providing technology in classrooms to enable remote participation and expand reach
The Master Plan elevates FPC’s ability to capture, curate, and broadcast worship, educational, theological, and artistic content by: Upgrading equipment throughout campus to improve quality of broadcast content; Improve technology in classrooms to enable content capture and sharing; Improving broadcast backdrops to better reflect FPC; Creating FPC Application that broadcasts content and connectivity.
The Master Plan maintains the architectural integrity of the historic sanctuary and rich tradition of the church by: Preserving the historic portions of the campus (sanctuary, chapel, bride’s room, founders hall) in accordance with best practices for historic structures Renovating and expanding non-historic portions of the campus in accordance with best practices for historic property expansions (compatible but differentiated, authentic reflection of time built) Creating new prominently placed, communal archives and heritage room Exploring evolution of church facility design from fortress (provides sanctuary) to one that also opens up to its community (shares God’s word and work)
The Master Plan minimizes the developmental and long-term operational impact on the environment by: Reusing the majority of existing church structures (only demolishes single story portions) Utilizing sustainable development best practices: efficient lighting and mechanical systems, recycling stations, bottle filling stations; Supplying natural light and visual connections to gardens and exterior spaces; Rooftop gardens and solar panels.
