“A Further Opportunity?”

“Modify” – A Further Opportunity The link between the East end of the Church & the Social Centre will provide:

• A convenient access to the Church Office and Priest’s Sacristy/Server’s Sacristy without having to pass through the Church.

•Allow late comers to join services in the worship area unobtrusively.

Alternatively:

•The link could be omitted by “reordering” the Church so that the Sanctuary is reorientated to the east end of the worship space.

•Although not part of the original brief, this would be a logical extension of it.

•Access to the Church from the Central Lobby would be a natural progression.

•The symmetrical plan form of the worship space lends itself to this change.
