Acoustical Analysis Goals High speech intelligibility Acoustic instruments and piano In the current layout the Sanctuary provides – good sound quality and reverberation all categories are in a green status Rotation of 90 degrees all categories remain green with the exception of two related to spoken words from the new chancel location using wall treatments and small upright speakers (diffusers) in specific locations will resolve Hard surface to be used on the Chancel Carpet in the aisles; Cushions on the pews

Renovation Considerations What code or engineering updates will be needed in the Sanctuary? Need to develop plans for worship between May and October Work with Preschool and Concordia Academy to minimize impact Asbestos removal needed? Sun glare through the south windows Stained glass windows on the east wall – incorporation into the renovation Balcony updates are needed and planned in the renovation

Features of the ‘fan’ Concept Overall Chancel area is approximately 1000 sq ft Seating capacity is estimated to be 287 people (20” spacing) The layout accommodates 7-8 rows of pews and chairs Note the middle pews are slightly angled First two rows are projected to be chairs Chairs are utilized at the front to provide flexibility when needed Create more space for weddings, funerals, dramas, musicals Updated lighting and sound system Entry would be approximately 19ft wide x 8 ft high The doors could be mostly if not all glass, allowing a view into the sanctuary from the hallway Creates more of a ‘community feel’ when worshipping
