With three separate buildings—church, parish center, and school—the community of Our Lord Christ the King was feeling strained. As the Construction Manager [4], HGC created a new addition that brought the community together [5], physically and spiritually.
First, the team hollowed out a large hill [6] to create more space for new structures. The approximately 47-foot-tall retaining wall necessary to maintain what was left of the hill now doubles as one of the walls of the new space. HGC also worked around regular operations of both the church and the school.
The final product created a central hub that allows people to park in the parking lot, enter the building, and remain indoors while accessing all buildings. Along the way, the parish gained new gathering spaces, conference rooms, restrooms, classrooms, and even a new cafeteria for Cardinal Pacchelli school.
