Geneseo First United Methodist Church asked BLDD to develop a master plan for its downtown location, which is adjacent to a residential area and the City Center. This challenging site included multiple city blocks and required building additions and renovations.  In order to accomplish these goals, a phased master plan was created.  This plan supports growth in all church ministry areas including:  worship, gathering and christian education space for all age groups.  

Details that make a difference.

  • Asymmetric layout and playful ceiling fixtures add a vibrancy to students' usually-repetitive flow between classes. ​
​
  • Three-dimensional wooden facade and ample window lighting assist in breathing natural life into the space, which has been proven to enhance performance within learning environments.

  • Wide hallways with integrated accessibility ramps provide continuous, unimpeded stress-reducing traffic flow.
