Re <br />Additions & Alterations - Phase 1 <br />First Baptist Church <br />Paris, Texas <br />Completed August, 2009 <br />Begun in the spring of 2008, this project was designed as the first phase of a <br />three-phase upgrading and remodeling program for the historic three-story First Baptist <br />Church in downtown Paris, Texas. <br />The church facility consisted of four separate existing structures which were <br />constructed at various times from 1917 to 1970. The focus of the design of the first <br />phase was the creation of a central three-story atrium entrance which ties the four <br />historic buildings together to form a"main entrance" to the church as well as providing a <br />central gathering place. This new atrium will ultimately be equipped with a new second <br />elevator to the upper floors in a subsequent phase. The first phase also included a <br />complete remodeling of the ground floors of two of the original buildings to <br />accommodate the pre-school and elementary childrens educational programs, nursery <br />and toddlers, resource workrooms for the church's day school, new restrooms and a <br />bride's room. The project also included an extensive upgrading of existing mechanical, <br />plumbing and electrical infrastructures in anticipation of future phases. <br />
