Improvements to Eastminster Presbyterian’s sanctuary and campus pair extensive renovation with strategic additions that preserve the architectural character of the mid-century structure. The work sharpens functionality, refreshes outdated finishes, and brings the building up to current codes.
A new porte-cochere and covered walkway create a direct, accessible route from the main parking area to the sanctuary, and enclosing the existing south breezeway forms a new entrance. Significantly upgraded restrooms improve accessibility, while new tile flooring, re-plastered ceilings, and refinished pews revitalize the grand sanctuary space.
