Watermark Church

Description

MYCON undertook a transformative renovation project at Watermark Community Church, located in Dallas, Texas. The project involved renovating 37,191 square feet of space within an existing eight-story office building to accommodate the church’s growing needs. With a focus on enhancing functionality, safety, and accessibility, MYCON’s renovation added vital amenities and spaces to support the church’s ministry activities and foster a sense of community among its members.

Challenges:

1. Existing Structure Constraints: Working within the confines of an existing office building presented challenges in terms of space utilization, structural limitations, and integration of new systems and features.
2. Compliance Requirements: Ensuring compliance with building codes and safety regulations, particularly regarding the addition of fire sprinkler and emergency communication systems, required careful planning and execution.
3. Meeting Ministry Needs: Understanding and addressing the specific requirements of the church’s ministry activities, including the need for an auditorium, classrooms, and meeting spaces, demanded close collaboration and communication with church leadership.

Solution:

1. Comprehensive Space Planning: MYCON worked closely with church leadership to develop a comprehensive space plan that optimized the use of available square footage, ensuring the efficient layout of auditoriums, classrooms, and meeting spaces.
2. Integration of Safety Systems: The addition of an automatic fire sprinkler system and emergency communication system enhanced the safety and security of the building, providing peace of mind for church members and visitors.
3. Customized Design Features: MYCON incorporated customized design elements, such as soundproofing and acoustical treatments in the auditorium, to create a welcoming and functional environment conducive to worship, learning, and fellowship.
