Monument Heights Baptist Church Dedicates New Campus Expansion Sunday

Monument Heights Baptist Church, located at 5716 Monument Avenue, dedicated its $1.5 million New Education and Welcome Center Building expansion and renovation, on Sunday, September 11, 2011, at the morning Worship service.

Designed by church architect William Henry Harris & Associates, Inc., the renovation of an existing 1951 wing resulted in a new Education building that provides additional classrooms, a welcome center and a state of the art pre-school. With an eye to the sustainable reuse of an existing structure, the Owner, Architect and General Contractor formed a team to manage the complete “gutting” of the existing building to shore up a sagging foundation. A new interior partition layout removed non-conforming corridors and stairs, replacing them with more accommodating and accessible spaces for children and adults. The plan called for re-insulating the wing, new energy efficient heating and cooling systems, new energy efficient windows and doors, new accessible bathrooms and an exterior “face-lift” to complement the existing Sanctuary. The renovation provided more square footage for less cost than a previously planned new building to replace the existing 1951 structure.

“We are thrilled with the final result,” wrote Senior Pastor Randy Clipp, and he added, “You should see the place furnished – wow!”

A new covered drop-off allows grade access during inclement weather through a new entry Commons. Site work included additional parking spaces, landscaping and access walks.

The exterior finishes of the renovated facility match the traditional style of the existing church campus, providing a unified appearance to the whole complex. Construction of the 14,000 square foot project was completed in August of 2011.
The general contractor for the project was Century Construction Co., Inc. of Richmond.

Monument Heights Baptist Church Begins New Renovation Project

Monument Heights Baptist Church broke ground for renovations to
its Education and Preschool Wings this past November. Located at the corner of Monument and
Libby Avenues (5716 Monument Avenue) and in Henrico County, the addition marks the first
major renovation project to the church since 1978.
The 14,000 square foot renovation will provide state of the art multiuse education and
preschool space, a new entry commons with information center and new bathrooms and access for
the physically handicapped. An attractive entrance foyer will also be part of the renovation project,
with a new covered drop-off allowing access to the church during inclement weather.
The renovation project developed out of a Master Planning and design process developed
by local architect and church design specialist, William Henry Harris, AIA. “Our Master Plan
workshop allowed all church members to participate in the design of their project, building
excitement and ownership in the project vision,” explains Harris, whose firm, William Henry
Harris & Associates, has worked with over 200 Virginia churches in the past 28 years.
The general contractor for the $1,500,000 project is Century Construction Company, of
Richmond, Virginia. The project is slated for completion by September 2011.
