Christian Education Center at Concordia Lutheran
This unique, three-story facility is not a typical day school but a multi-purpose center to facilitate religious, adult & youth learning. The new Christian Education Center (CEC) provides connectivity to the existing worship area and the recreational gym. Facility spaces include childcare center, 15+ classrooms, science lab, computer lab, art room, administrative offices/conference rooms/flexible meeting spaces, and multi-purpose commons/cafeteria. A new iconic entry tower clearly directs visitors to new lobby. Exterior doors and entries are access controlled for enhanced security. Interiors incorporate school colors including bright-red to highlight classroom entries and feature branding elements. Exterior design addresses neighborhood concerns for contextual architecture with charm and character. Materials include masonry in combination with glass, metal, and EIFS.
