St. Luke's Master Plan

College Station, Texas

This project began as the congregation deter-mined that they must relocate in order to prosper. A master plan was developed that included fellowship, education, administra-tive and worship facilities. Phase One, shown here, includes education, office and interim worship/fellowship space. A future phase will include the permanent sanctuary.

Initial design concepts were based on a cross parti, which organized the layout by function. Though the concept evolved, the parti can still be seen in the plan. Important to the congregation was the overall image of their new building — especially having a defining element to “look like a church.” A steeple element marks the center narthex, the point from which the organization originates. Light glows through translucent panels, creating a “beacon” of light. In keeping with a traditional church image, materials for the new facility include large-scale masonry, cast stone, and metal roofing.
