Ascension Lutheran Church
Charlotte, North Carolina

Located near downtown Charlotte, Ascension Lutheran Church added an impressive educational building for use by both their church and Lutheran school. The design worked closely with the building committee on how to best use the limited space on the site. The result is a prominently located education building that blends perfectly with their existing facility and neighborhood as well as accommodates future needs of the church. A critical design aspect for the neighborhood and church included reducing the scale of a large educational building expansion. This was accomplished by developing a rhythm gable roof forms that echo the classroom pattern and reduce the scale of the building. Functions include classrooms, library, science and computer areas.
