What does Parkwood mean to me?

History
 February 20, 2010: The congregation of Parkwood church at its annual meeting authorized the Facility Planning Team
"...to proceed with planning to prepare for the construction of an addition to Parkwood Church which would replace the current Mulvagh Wing.
The project would also include consideration of the renovation of the current Fellowship Hall/Kitchen/Meeting Room to provide appropriate facilities
for the Christian Education Program, within the budget approved by the Session/Congregation" (see the
excerpt from the 2009 Annual Report for details).
September 26, 2010: At a special meeting held Sunday September 26, the FPT briefed the congregation on the
planning process that had taken place over the summer, using a slide presentation available here in
pdf format. The process culminated in two recommendations to the congregation that Parkwood session had approved unanimously at its August meeting...
- that the Session and Congregation accept Option 1 as presented by Susan Smith Architects and authorize the Facility Planning Team
to continue to work with Susan Smith Architects to refine this design to a level to be submitted to tender and approval by Municipal
Authorities and lending agencies. The cost of this design work would be charged against the building project.
- that Session and Congregation agree to consider Options 2 or 3 - the expansion of the Fellowship space on the main level
if fundraising generates sufficient funds.
The recommendations were approved by the congregation. The goal now faced by the congregation is to raise $175,000 over the period
leading up to the next annual meeting in order to proceed with Option 1 (as outlined in the slide presentation - total cost approx. $550,000).
Should an additional $110,000 be raised, Option 3 (an additional 500 sq. ft. of fellowship space) would be considered. Should a lot more
be raised, Option 2 (a 1500 sq. ft. Fellowship Hall on the main level combined with renovations to the current Fellowship Hall for classrooms)
would come under consideration. It is estimated that a mortgage of $125,000 would be necessary over and above funds raised and existing funds.
The Plans
The site plan and floorplans for the main and lower levels for option 1, as accepted by the congregation at the special meeting of 26 September, are
available here. These have been extracted from the slideshow that was presented at the meeting. The floorplan for option 2 is available in the slideshow.
Resources
- A special brochure (1.8 MB) describing the need and outlining the project and its
benefits was distributed at the meeting as well. Check it out!
