PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Since 2010, McCarty Holsaple McCarty has provided design services for First United Methodist Church in Maryville, Tennessee. MHM guided the congregation through a series of visioning and ‘needs assessment’ workshops in preparation for the master plan.
The church asked the MHM team to address several issues, including the expansion of the chancel, acoustic treatment of the existing sanctuary, the reallocation of staff spaces in all areas of the church, upgrades to the gymnasium for contemporary worship, and expanding the children’s classroom wing.
In 2014, the congregation voted to proceed with a $3,000,000 phase one project, which included renovations to the sanctuary, gymnasium, fellowship hall, church offices, and children’s classrooms.
