The project consisted of a complete interior and exterior renovation to the 11,000 sf existing 1970’s Church to provide new finishes and modifications
to the antiquated mechanical and electrical systems. Furthermore, an addition was provided to the existing classroom wing, which offered an expanded
3,900 sf Pre-K classroom and new daycare facility.
H/S Architects also designed the “Donor Wall” concept, which recognized the commitments and contributions of all involved in support of the renovation
efforts for the outdated Church and Shrine. In reflection of a bronze plaque, which existed at the front of the Church, the concept was derived to
create a homage to St. Ann and the Blessed Mother by creating an image which was generated from an amalgamation of the names of Parish supporters who
contributed to the Church’s Capital Campaign. The backdrop for the plaque image is made of a milled assembly of reclaimed wood which was salvaged from
the original Church shrine during the renovation.
