AGM agreed to employ an architect to come up with some concepts of how we could make our site work for us a little better, but in keeping with our theology, and how we could work to a long term “ideal” in manageable steps.
February 2013
Possible plans to the deacons. Each plan focused on giving better toilet access and increasing the flow of the site.
April 2013
A building survey to get perspectives from the church, and alert people to the various issues we needed to juggle, revealed perfectly mixed feelings.

Deacons decided that between the kitchen issue and the CORT Community Housing office space issue, we needed to look at the future of the whole site. This involved

- current building maintenance requirements, and
- our long term needs from the building.
