LF Driscoll

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The American Bible Society Faith & Liberty Discovery Center, a new “beacon of light” along Independence Mall that celebrates the relationship between faith and liberty in America, is an immersive space brought to life by ingenuity and collaboration. Construction, spearheaded by LF Driscoll, included renovating the first floor of an existing and occupied building, and constructing a street-level addition at a busy urban intersection. The team carefully managed the integration of the center’s galleries and exhibits, A/V elements, and new infrastructure, including the structural elements of a unique sculpture that extends onto the roof of the building.
