Currently in the schematic design phase, the master plan transcends the limits of the Center to transform vacant properties into productive landscapes. The plan proposes a formal connection between a future greenway and the central campus, incorporating native plantings and stormwater management. It also includes a contemporary building addition and outdoor courtyards for contemplation and worship.
The Center acquired a large number of publicly-owned properties in the neighborhood throughout the design process. A key objective for the design team was to respect and empower current residents, and one way the team accomplished this was by responding to acquisitions in real time to satisfy resident needs.
