This addition of this 1,000 seat sanctuary to an existing church in the traditional community of Hudson provided it with a complimentary third phase which is integrated successfully with the two previous contemporary phases. The entire space was computer modeled and evaluated to yield an acoustically ideal space. Fine adjustments were made in the roof planes to accomplish the stringent acoustical requirements of the owner. Architecturally the building had to not only serve as an intimate new central worship space for the congregation, but also fit into the tightly knit historic building fabric of the Western Reserve City of Hudson.
