Building Committee Update
- from Steve Brown, Building Committee Chairman
The Building Committee is working with Arks and Farrior to develop a draft floor plan for the new building based on the space needs presented several months ago. After several iterations, we are nearly ready to present a recommended plan to the Session for their review. We are also developing a site layout with the goal of submitting it to the Town of Apex for site plan approval, hopefully by the end of the year. The Apex site plan approval process will be the critical path for the project schedule, and will likely take about 6 months. Once the site plan is submitted to Apex, we will return our focus on the building itself and seek input from the congregation on specialty areas such as worship service arrangements, music program needs, Sunday school, nursery, hospitality, building and grounds, interior décor, and others to make sure the diverse needs of Ambassador’s ministries are suitably addressed. All of these other activities will occur parallel and simultaneously with the site plan review process. Our goal is to have all of these details resolved and begin construction once the Town approves the site plan. We will have more specific schedule details once the early key issues get resolved. Stay tuned!
