The Team met architect Daryl Drake (Dale's brother) at the Glen Ellyn Church. The Senior Pastor, Jerry Andrews, greeted the Team and gave us a tour of their facility. The Church had recently completed a 7.5 million dollar expansion, that included a gymnasium, educational wing and office area.
Following the tour that involved a great deal of discussion and input from the Pastor, the Team reconvened at Daryl Drake's Office to review our project.
The following items were discussed:
- Daryl stated that, while he does not wish to be the architect of record for our project, he would be willing to assist our Team with some ideas and sketches.
- The Team again discussed how our new facility could be best laid out to take advantage of what we had learned.
- The Team also decided that a multi-purpose facility floor similar to the one in the Glen Ellyn gymnasium would be desirable. (The floor had a wood-floor appearance, but was of a composite material that was rolled out like linoleum and then the seams were sealed) The pastor indicated that in the 3 years since the gymnasium portion of their project had been completed the floor had been used for basketball, volleyball, weekly contemporary services, a homeless shelter and various other events involving tables and chairs without the floor being damaged or needing repair.
The Team will not meet on Tuesday, December 18, as previously scheduled.
The next meeting will be scheduled when additional information or sketches are available.
