St. Paul’s Episcopal Church Renovation Project
The renovation of our building is an expression of our Parish’s overall renewal in its identity and purpose. As such, some of the goals of our building renovation effort are to enhance the visibility, identity and beauty of St. Paul’s church, physically allowing St. Paul’s to be more accessible, hospitable and flexible in the forms of liturgy. All changes seek to strengthen the integration of the building and its aesthetic as well as increase the building’s beauty through the use of design and natural, native materials.
What are the major components of the renovation?
The renovation will include: enlarging the entryway and adding an immersion baptismal font, adding new doors to the entryway; adding a new bathroom to the entryway area; replacing all the side windows in the church refinishing the pews; replacing all the lighting in the entryway and in the church; adding a new altar; repainting the wall behind the altar; adding new altar furnishings; taking up the carpet in the center aisle of the church and cleaning the floors; replacing the flooring and carpet in the altar area, replacing some trees in the front of the church and repaving the sidewalk.
To what extent are "green" construction materials to be used in the renovation?
As much and as frequently as possible! our commitment includes low flush/low flow fixtures, energy efficient new lighting, non VOC paints, high recycled content steel, Low-E double paned windows, continued use of natural ventilation, skylights for better day-lighting and preserving as much of our existing materials as we can.
