Carnmoney Presbyterian Church

This project involved the newbuild construction of two-storey church halls (floor area over 2,400m2) and linked to the existing Carnmoney Presbyterian Church building.

Ground floor facilities in the church halls include a foyer with reception and feature curved balcony; a café/seating area with servery; 3-court indoor sports hall with a divisional curtain (18m wide x 10m high); a toddler room; catering kitchen, washrooms and ancillary accommodation. Facilities on the first floor include 2nr meeting rooms; staff office; minister’s office; prayer/counselling rooms; 2nr youth rooms and washrooms.

Throughout the construction period, the existing church and halls were required to remain available for use by church associations. Works were programmed to allow the church to decant into temporary accommodation to allow services and meetings to continue.

The building is structural steel-framed on reinforced concrete pad and strip foundations. Building façade works comprised blockwork with cream coloured render, PPC aluminium glazing and doors, clerestorey glazing and timber effect feature cladding panels. A complete interior fit-out was completed.

External works involved the construction of a 231-space car park; extensive paved areas with stainless steel bollards; masonry retaining walls, steps, ramps and railings.
