It was the American era of Teddy Roosevelt the height of the great Victorian age in Britain and the Episcopal Diocese of Texas was preparing to celebrate its 50th anniversary. Back in Austin, Texas, however, sons of a stone mason who moved developed over the next century into

New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary
Master Plan for Ministry The New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary project involved assessing current buildings and programming new functions to master plan an 85-acre academic and residential campus in northeast New Orleans. Additions to the current campus include a new conference center, a new campus wellness center, additional classroom facilities, replacement of a significant portion of on-campus housing for faculty and students, and a proposed K-12 school. The historic institution required additional acreage to accommodate off-site housing and programs that are to return to campus. The planners were tasked with developing a land acquisition plan to double the existing campus acreage and to site new support and institutional functions. In addition to developing a long-range campus master plan, the planners were also asked to develop the fundraising strategies, models, sketches and computer animation necessary to raise monies to implement the plan. The SeminaryÂ’s commitment to the community was communicated through identification of community and economic development strategies in the master plan. A major streetscape program and urban revitalization plan helped further complete the community action program.

Restoring Our Heritage James M. Wright, a PageSoutherlandPage Design Principal, led the programming and design process for the $500,000 renovation and historical restoration of the United Methodist ChurchÂ’s Walker Chapel in Virginia. After conducting a series of congregational and community meetings in order to establish a broad consensus, Mr. Wright is now proceeding with feasibility, programming, and architectural design services to the historic Walker Chapel. The 10,000 SF Education & Office Building wing of the church, serves the administrative, educational, and community services activities of the church. The project involves functional layout redevelopment, ADA and building code improvements, hazardous materials removal, and mechanical and electrical system upgrades. In associated projects for the church, Mr. Wright planned the renovation of the church social hall and designed the new exterior sign and message board structures. Walker Chapel is zoned as its own historical district within Arlington County, therefore the exterior improvements required presentations to and approval from the County historical review authorities.

Masterplanning their Master s Plan
Trinity Christian Center
PageSoutherlandPage has been retained by Trinity Christian Center and CCL Associates to provide programming, masterplanning and architectural design services for Trinity Christian Center in Angleton, Texas. The Center has recently acquired 20 acres of land south of the City of Angleton, requiring a program for future facilities, master plan, and schematic designs for the Center s new facility. In August of this year during initial programming meetings, a two-phased schedule was devised to allow incremental growth on the campus. As a result of the final programming/masterplan meeting and a budget review, an intermediate phase was added to the long-range plan. Summary statements to establish the significant conditions as well as the campus unique, essential elements included: Trinity Christian Center desires a functional and excellent campus; therefore, the design should be simple and elegant. Because the entire experience at Trinity Christian Center should be pleasant and enjoyable for church members and visitors; ingress, egress and circulation must be carefully addressed. A number of church families have children who will utilize the children s ministry building on Sundays. Therefore, the design should address the sequence from parking to the Children s ministry building to the sanctuary providing for easy drop-off and pick-up of children. Trinity Christian Center wishes to create an atmosphere for people to congregate and linger. Therefore, the master plan design should include gathering places that provide for planned and unplanned conversations.

Worship Center Expansion
Richland Bible Fellowship Adding to their Number Weekly! This church s average growth over the last four years has been 100% - from around 240 to 480. If that trend continues, in the next five years this congregation, based in Richardson, Texas, will add 280 to their church family this year. It is this reality and responsibility that has motivated intensive prayer and extensive planning over the last nine months. PageSoutherlandPage and RBF Elders and committees worked aggressively to come up with a two-phase plan that will meet the current and future space needs for the church. This plan includes a Master Plan for facilities and a Stewardship Plan for funding it.

The Big Box vs. Urban Design: Urban Design Wins... PageSoutherlandPage served as Prime Architect / Engineer and managing entity for the Austin Collaborative Venture design team on the $50 million Austin Convention Center. Working together with technical specialists in the functional design of convention centers, the Lawrence W. Speck Design Studio of PageSoutherlandPage was responsible for leading the team in designing a facility that uniquely reflected the character and heritage of the City of Austin. In addition to the design of the Center, the project scope included site selection, programming and interior design, as well as the development of a District Master Plan and Urban Design Guidelines for the surrounding 40-block CBD area. Covering four city blocks in Austin s Central Business District, the 410,000 SF facility takes what is often an intrusive building type and integrates it harmoniously into the fabric of the city. Reminiscent of the street facades of the neighboring historic Sixth Street and surrounding district, the faces of the Austin Convention Center take on the scale and character of the City from the rustic Texas limestone treatment along Waller Creek and the smooth cut stone and granites reminiscent of the University of Texas and the Capitol Building to the plum-colored brick echoing the historic Paramount Theater and sleek, high-tech metals that point to Austin s future.

The original project planning team was led by Lewis T. May. The population of the original city is now 40,000. Ruwais was commissioned in 1978 by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company and built over the years 1979-1982. In 1998, Mr. May masterplanned a new expansion which will double the size of the city.
