Olympia Unitarian Universalist Congregation
Olympia, Washington
Just finished with construction, the Olympia Unitarian Universalist Congregation is preparing for Phase 2 of its Master Plan. The addition of Christian Education classrooms and expanded Narthex during Phase 1 increased the facility space by 5,000 sf - essentially doubling the original footprint. Four classrooms were added and are served by a new hallway with ample daylight to enhance the experience of the space.
