Project Intent StatementCommunity Hub, Allegheny Center Alliance Church, presented several challenges to be overcome. The goal of connecting three different existing buildings, maximizing usable interior spaces for diverse uses by the congregation and community, and make the infill project a seamless part of the Northside Campus from the front facing Allegheny Commons Park and the rear facing Nova Place.
The design incorporated the congregation’s vision for a new addition to the church of a multilevel community center equipped with a multitude of amenities for the congregation and the Northside community.
