Church For All Nations
The structure for this 85,000 SF church building is comprised of concrete tilt-up walls with steel beams and a steel deck roof structure. The sanctuary is able to accommodate 3,000 people and has a sloped floor to enhance the sight lines and has full audio and video capabilities for professional performances. The acoustic clouds at the ceiling partially conceal a variety of stage and lighting equipment and are connected by a network of catwalks and ladders. Merit Construction collaborated with the audio and visual consultants to help layout the most cost effective locations for the catwalks in order to access and maintain the various sound and lighting equipment. Merit also reviewed several options for materials and components before selecting the appropriate system relative to the cost and the method of installation.
