Christ & St. Luke's Episcopal Church Renovation and Addition
Christ & St. Luke's Episcopal Church
Norfolk, VA
Christ and St. Luke’s renovations address the challenges due to changes in flood levels, an aging infrastructure, life safety conditions, issues with accessibility and security, and the need for more flexible spaces that accommodate the congregation’s programming in a more efficient way.
Hartman-Cox talked with clergy, staff, parishioners, and those who invest their time and efforts in church life to help develop consensus among the Parish and create a path forward that had wide support. This meant that not only was it important for us to gather information about the church, but it was also crucial that we share our evolving ideas and designs with the Parish throughout the process to create a dialogue about what is best for the church moving forward. A list of priorities was developed according to what Christ and St. Luke’s identified and what the Hartman-Cox team’s observed:
Life Safety
Accessibility
Infrastructure Improvements
Water Infiltration
Restrooms
Flexibility
Storage Space
