EXISTING SCULPTURE
Emmanuel Episcopal Church was built in the 1890s in downtown Athens, Georgia. While the congregation loved their historic church, they also recognized that the facility needed functional improvements to enhance delivery of ministries and bring members closer to one another and the Athens’ community. As an essential first step, the architects and building committee developed a project mission statement to serve as the foundation for group consensus and decision making: “to adapt and enhance with respect Emmanuel’s historic campus to be more functional, intuitive, accessible, comfortable, welcoming, and uplifting in support of the growing community coming together for worship and fellowship.”
