Lake Murray Presbyterian Church Educational Building

Lake Murray Presbyterian

Completion Date
TBD

Project Budget
TBD

This 12,000sf new educational building for Lake Murray Presbyterian Church will serve as a preschool during the week and as a Sunday school on the weekends. The dual-purpose building reflects high priorities placed on the safety and quality of the learning environment it provides. Classrooms in the L-shaped parti are each provided with both visual and physical connections to the outside, and are grouped around a central multi-purpose room which features a strong connection to the playground. Clear sight lines and centrally located administrative functions make it easy to monitor the building during the course of daily activities. The new building will anchor the western end of the church campus, and will be an opportunity to tie together the visual character of the church's new sanctuary with elements of the older fellowship hall and activities building.

SCVRD Lyman Center

As the first new Center to be built for the South Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation Department in over twenty years, the Lyman Center reflects the current mission and philosophy of the Department, providing counseling, rehabilitation, and work production services. The new 35,000sf structure, to be constructed in two phases, is subdivided into three major program components: an area office, a 10,000sf production/training floor, and a special services unit for occupational and physical therapy. Designed for an organization that values its relationships within the business community, the facility appeals to corporate and technological aesthetics while also blending with its organic, wooded site on the Middle Tyger River.
